I have adquired the following boards:

Qi-based wireless power receiver optimized for wearable applications up to 2.5 W using STWLC33

(STEVAL-ISB043V1)

and also the Qi MP-A10 15 W wireless charger TX evaluation kit based on STWBC-EP

(STEVAL-ISB044V1)

I have been testing them together with the default configuration. They allow a maximum separation of 5 mm. I would like to test them also with different materials between them.

Is there any special configuration that i could do in order to maximize this distance?

Hi Janire,

the material between TX and RX can be changed as long as it is not metallic. So any plastic, glass or wood is ok.

It is recommended to keep a minimum spacer from the coil surface of 3mm. This is by default the thickness of the STEVA-ISB044V1 plexiglass. If you remove the plexiglass, you should keep into account this.

Increasing the thickness above 8mm (3mm +5mm) is not recommended.
