Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct packaging configuration, as cut tape options are available. Confirm that the 18-week standard lead time aligns with project schedules. Ensure the unshielded nature of the component does not interfere with nearby sensitive traces or components during layout. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by environmental regulations.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 mH inductance value is required with a 225 mA current rating. The 14.3 Ohm resistance must be considered for voltage drop calculations. The unshielded design requires careful placement to avoid magnetic interference. Verify that the radial package fits the PCB footprint constraints compared to shielded alternatives.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the RL-5480HC-4 series of Mini-Drum inductors manufactured by Renco Electronics. The series includes various inductance values such as 220 uH and 39 uH variants. These components are characterized by their cylindrical drum core construction and wirewound technology, targeting applications requiring reliable through-hole inductance solutions.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other RL-5480 series parts for different inductance values. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints when substituting. Ensure current ratings meet or exceed original design requirements.
