Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MEC' against official Coilcraft documentation to confirm termination type and material specifications. Ensure that the required current ratings align with the thermal environment of the target application. Cross-reference the AEC-Q200 certification status if automotive compliance is mandatory for the design.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 2525 footprint is required alongside significant current handling capacity. The 12 µH value suits intermediate switching frequencies where moderate inductance is needed. Consider the 40.33 mOhms DCR for efficiency calculations in low-voltage, high-current power stages.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the Coilcraft XEL series of shielded power inductors. The series offers various inductance values within the same 2525 package form factor, allowing designers to maintain consistent board space while adjusting electrical characteristics. The XEL line emphasizes high current density and low profile for modern electronic assemblies.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Coilcraft XEL series datasheet for alternative part numbers within the same package size that offer different inductance or current ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
