PCLS2012-R68M

Overview

The PCLS2012-R68M is a shielded multilayer power inductor manufactured by Max Echo. It features an inductance of 0.68 µH with a DC resistance (DCR) of 120 mOhm. The component utilizes a ferrite core and is designed for surface mount mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The self-resonant frequency is specified at 100 MHz, and the inductance is tested at 1 MHz. The physical package corresponds to the 0805 (2012 Metric) footprint.

Feature Summary

• Shielded multilayer construction utilizing ferrite core material
• Designed for surface mount applications on PCBs
• Capable of operating across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 125°C

Applications

• Power supply filtering circuits
• Signal processing in electronic devices
• General purpose fixed inductor roles in SMD assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm current electrical tolerances and packaging details. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required quantity format. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile 0805 shielded inductor is required for power applications. The 0.68 µH value and 120 mOhm DCR suit designs needing moderate inductance with low resistive loss. Consider the 100 MHz self-resonant frequency for high-frequency performance requirements. Verify thermal management capabilities align with the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PCLS-2012 series of multilayer power inductors from Max Echo Technology Corp. The series employs multi-layer printing and low-temperature co-firing technologies. These components are engineered for compact electronic designs requiring reliable magnetic shielding and stable inductance characteristics in small form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0805 shielded multilayer inductors with similar 0.68 µH inductance and comparable DCR values. Verify pin compatibility and thermal ratings before substitution. Check manufacturer cross-reference lists for equivalent parts from other suppliers offering identical specifications.
