MCLA1608V1-R120-R

Fixed Inductors Overview

The MCLA1608V1-R120-R is a fixed surface-mount multilayer inductor from the Eaton MCLA series, designed for automotive applications. It features an inductance of 120 nH with a tolerance of 10%. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 300 mOhm and a rated current of 50 mA. It utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) package size and is AEC-Q200 qualified.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive reliability standards
• Unshielded multilayer construction for RF signal handling
• Compact 0603 surface-mount footprint

Fixed Inductors Applications

• Automotive RF circuit filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• Signal line chokes in electronic control units

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Eaton documentation to confirm electrical parameters and packaging options. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the small SMD form factor. Confirm that the unshielded design meets electromagnetic interference requirements for the target application environment.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value is required for high-frequency signal paths in automotive systems. The 50 mA current rating dictates suitability for low-power signal lines rather than power delivery. The 10% tolerance provides standard precision for general RF tuning applications.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton MCLA series of auto chip inductors. The series offers various inductance values within the 1608 package. The 'V1' designation typically indicates specific material or performance characteristics within the product family, distinct from other variants like V2.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 120 nH inductance, 0603 package, and AEC-Q200 qualification. Verify that alternative components maintain similar DC resistance and current ratings to ensure circuit performance consistency.
