Additional Details

The NLFC453232T-3R3M features an inductance of 3.3 μH and is designed for surface mount technology (SMT). It has a specific saturation current rating, which is the current level at which the inductance starts to drop significantly. The operating temperature range is typically between -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions. Its dimensions are 4.5mm x 3.2mm x 3.2mm. The self-resonant frequency (SRF) is an important parameter, indicating the frequency at which the inductor's inductive behavior starts to diminish, and capacitive effects become more dominant. This inductor is lead-free and RoHS compliant, adhering to environmental regulations.
