The saturation current of 230 mA sets the hard ceiling for peak inductor current before the inductance rolls off — if your converter's peak inductor current exceeds this, the ripple increases and the output voltage may drop out of regulation. With a DCR of 3.4 Ω max, the I²R loss at 250 mA is roughly 0.21 W; in a 5×5×1.5 mm shielded package that heat must be conducted through the PCB copper, so a four-layer board with thermal vias under the part is the typical deployment. ## Self-resonant frequency and operating temperature range The self-resonant frequency (SRF) is 9.3 MHz — above that frequency the inductor behaves capacitively, so this part is suited for switching converters switching below about 2 MHz (the typical rule of thumb is to keep the switching frequency below one-fifth of the SRF).","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS5015-154MRC 150 µH Shielded Drum Core Inductor","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS5015-154MRC shielded drum core inductor, 150 µH ±20%, 250 mA rated, 230 mA saturation.
