Additional Details
The DO1813H-122MLD's key specifications include its inductance value (12μH), saturation current, and DC resistance. It is crucial to consider these specifications when selecting a replacement inductor. Because this part is listed as END-OF-LIFE, it's recommended to consult with Coilcraft or electronic component distributors to find a suitable alternative. The inductor's physical dimensions and termination style should also be considered for compatibility with the existing circuit board layout. Review the official Coilcraft datasheet for comprehensive electrical and mechanical characteristics.
