• DC-DC converter input and output filtering
• On-board charger systems

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MEC' against official Coilcraft documentation to confirm lead-free plating and tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure that the AEC-Q200 certification status aligns with the required automotive grade standards for the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with the datasheet to avoid confusion with similar series variants.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 3x3 mm footprint is required for high-frequency switching applications. The 560 nH value suits designs needing moderate energy storage with low impedance. Consider the 2.2 A continuous current rating and 1.7 A saturation limit to ensure adequate headroom for peak load scenarios without core saturation issues.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This model belongs to the XFL3012 series of shielded power inductors manufactured by Coilcraft. The series is characterized by its small form factor and high current density capabilities. It is engineered specifically for space-constrained environments where magnetic shielding is critical to maintain signal integrity and reduce noise coupling in dense circuit layouts.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include XFL3012-223MEC and XFL3012-103MEC, which share identical mechanical dimensions and shielding characteristics but offer different inductance values.
