Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MRC against official Coilcraft documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and testing frequencies. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the small surface-mount footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when high saturation current (2 A) is required alongside low DC resistance (0.08 Ohms). The AEC-Q200 rating makes it suitable for automotive environments requiring operation up to 125°C. Compare against other LPS4018 variants if different inductance values or current ratings better fit the circuit design requirements.
