Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MEC' against official Coilcraft documentation to confirm terminal type and packaging configuration. Ensure the requested quantity matches available reel or cut-tape options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to ordering.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit designs require high inductance values combined with moderate current handling capabilities. The 18 µH value suits filtering applications where lower switching frequencies are utilized. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 80 mΩ DC resistance to ensure efficient power conversion without excessive heat generation.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the XGL6030 family of ultra-low loss shielded power inductors. The series offers various inductance values optimized for different current ratings while maintaining a consistent footprint. The XGL6030-183MEC specifically targets applications needing higher inductance compared to lower-value counterparts in the same package size.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Coilcraft XGL6030 variants with similar electrical characteristics, such as XGL6030-153MEC or XGL6030-223MEC, provided inductance differences are acceptable within the system design margins.
