The **AC1060R-R30** is a high-current, surface-mount power inductor typically used in DC-DC converter circuits, voltage regulator modules (VRMs), and high-efficiency power supplies. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Based on standard industry naming conventions for the 1060 series power inductors, here are the primary technical characteristics: | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Inductance** | 0.30 µH (indicated by "R30") | | **Tolerance** | ±20% | | **DCR (Direct Current Resistance)** | Very Low (approx. 0.8mΩ - 1.5mΩ) | | **Saturation Current (Isat)** | High (typically 30A - 50A range) | | **Temperature Range** | -40°C to +125°C | | **Package Size** | 10mm x 10mm x 6mm (approx.) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown * **AC**: Usually refers to the manufacturer's series designation (often associated with automotive-grade or high-reliability shielded power inductors). * **1060**: Represents the physical dimensions. 10 refers to a width/length of roughly 10mm, and 60 refers to a height of 6.0mm. * **R30**: Represents the inductance value. In electronic coding, "R" acts as a decimal point. Therefore, **R30 = 0.30 µH**. --- ### 3. Core Features and Applications The AC1060R-R30 is designed for high-performance power management. #### Features: * **Magnetic Shielding**: Constructed with a composite or ferrite core to minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). * **High Efficiency**: Low DCR reduces power loss through heat, making it ideal for high-density boards. * **Soft Saturation**: Maintains inductance stability even under high current spikes. #### Common Applications: 1. **Motherboards & Servers**: Used in VRMs to provide stable low-voltage/high-current power to CPUs and GPUs. 2. **Automotive Electronics**: Powering ADAS systems or infotainment units where heat resistance is critical. 3. **DC-DC Converters**: Buck, Boost, or Buck-Boost topologies for industrial power supplies. --- ### 4. Footprint/Layout Considerations ```markdown - Ensure wide copper traces to handle the high saturation current. - Place as close as possible to the switching IC to reduce parasitic inductance. - Provide adequate thermal vias under the component if the DCR causes localized heating. ```
