Additional Details

The VLP5012T-1R0M2R7-LC inductor uses a ferrite core material to achieve high inductance with low core losses. The shielded construction is created using a magnetic resin that encapsulates the coil, containing the magnetic field. The inductor is designed for reflow soldering processes in high-volume manufacturing environments. The 'LC' suffix may indicate specific packaging or production lot control characteristics. Pay close attention to datasheet specifications when integrating into a design.

Specific Electrical Characteristics:

  
• Inductance: 1.0 µH (measured at a specified frequency, typically 1 MHz)
  
• DC Resistance (DCR): Check the datasheet for the precise value, typically very low (e.g., 0.02 ohms).
  
• Saturation Current (Isat): Determine from the datasheet for the specific part.
  
• Rated Current (Irms): Refer to the datasheet for thermal current rating.
