Technical Specifications:
The SPT30L-522MLD typically features an inductance of 5.2 μH with a tolerance. The dimensions are small, typically under 3mm in height. The saturation current (Isat) and RMS current (Irms) are critical parameters for determining its current handling capability. The DC resistance (DCR) influences the inductor's efficiency. The operating temperature range typically spans from -40°C to +85°C or higher. The specific values for Isat, Irms, and DCR are available in the official Coilcraft datasheet, which should be consulted for design purposes.
