Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MNE against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm packaging details and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel sizes provided by authorized distributors. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and environmental declarations prior to final procurement approval.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded inductor with a 6.8 µH value is required for space-constrained designs. The 2520 metric footprint accommodates moderate current requirements up to 1.3 A. Consider the 250 mΩ DC resistance for efficiency calculations in low-voltage power rails where thermal management is critical.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CIGW series of fixed power inductors manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The series utilizes wire-wound technology on a metal composite core, distinguishing it from thin-film alternatives. These components are engineered for reliability in automotive and industrial environments requiring robust magnetic shielding.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6.8 µH shielded SMD inductors in the 2520 package with comparable current ratings. Verify that alternative parts meet the same DCR and saturation current specifications to maintain circuit performance integrity.
