Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical parameters against the official Eaton datasheet prior to procurement. Confirm that the 25 mA current rating and 750 mΩ DC resistance meet the target circuit requirements. Ensure the AEC-Q200 qualification aligns with the project's automotive grade specifications. Check for any recent updates to the component's pinout or packaging format.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor inductor is required for automotive RF environments. The 1.8 µH value suits specific impedance matching or filtering needs. Consider the low current handling capability of 25 mA during selection. The non-shielded nature may require layout considerations for EMI. Compare against other MCL series variants if different inductance values are needed.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to Eaton's MCL series of fixed inductors, specifically tailored for automotive use. The '1608' designation indicates the standard 0603 imperial package size. The suffix '1R8' denotes the 1.8 µH inductance value. This series provides a balance of performance and size for modern automotive electronic systems requiring reliable passive components.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MCL series parts with identical 1.8 µH ratings, such as MCL1608V1-1R8-R, provided they match the current and resistance specs. Verify package dimensions and terminal compatibility before substitution.
