Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Inductance** | 0.24 µH | | **Tolerance** | ±20% | | **DC Resistance (Max)** | 19 mΩ | | **Rated Current (Isat)** | 5.3 A (Saturation Current) | | **Rated Current (Itemp)** | 4.3 A (Temperature Rise Current) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +125°C | | **Case Size (EIA/Metric)** | 0806 / 2016 | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the component's physical and electrical properties: * **DFE**: Murata series name (Metal Alloy type). * **2016**: Dimensions in millimeters ($2.0 \times 1.6 \text{ mm}$). * **10**: Height/Thickness (max $1.0 \text{ mm}$). * **P**: Internal construction code. * **R24**: Inductance value (R24 = 0.24 µH). * **M**: Tolerance (M = ±20%). --- ### 3. Core Technologies & Features #### A. Metal Alloy Material Unlike traditional ferrite inductors, this part uses a **metal alloy powder**. This provides "Soft Saturation" characteristics, meaning the inductance drops gradually as current increases, rather than dropping sharply. This prevents sudden circuit failures during current spikes. #### B. Magnetic Shielding The component is magnetically shielded. This is crucial for modern electronics to: * Minimize **Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)**. * Prevent cross-talk between the inductor and sensitive nearby components. #### C. Low Profile With a maximum height of **1.0 mm**, it is optimized for "thin" electronics like smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Smartphones:** Power management IC (PMIC) circuits. * **Laptops/Tablets:** Voltage regulator modules for CPUs and GPUs. * **IoT Devices:** Battery-operated sensors requiring high efficiency in a small footprint. * **DC-DC Converters:** High-switching frequency power supplies. ---
