Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (MEB vs MEC) against the design schematic, as both variants exist within the XAL6030 family with identical electrical parameters but potentially different packaging or handling specifications. Confirm availability status through official manufacturer channels, as distribution listings may indicate limited stock or restricted supply conditions. Ensure the selected part matches the required thermal and current ratings for the target application environment.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-current shielded inductor is required for automotive-grade designs. The 2.2 µH value suits intermediate switching frequencies where moderate energy storage is needed. Consider the 10 A DC current limit and 15.9 A saturation threshold to ensure stable operation under peak load conditions without significant inductance drop.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

Part of the XAL6030 series, which offers a range of inductance values from 180 nH to higher microhenry levels within the same 6.56 x 6.36 x 3.1 mm footprint. The series is characterized by low DCR and high current handling, making it suitable for space-constrained automotive electronics requiring robust magnetic components.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

The XAL6030-222MEB is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical specifications. Verify if the suffix difference implies any variation in reel packaging or tape-and-reel orientation before substitution.
