The ferrite core and shielded winding contain the magnetic flux, reducing EMI radiated into adjacent PCB traces — a key concern in dense power-stage layouts for POL converters and module regulators. ## Current Handling and Saturation Margin Rated for 1.5 A continuous with a saturation current floor of 2.6 A. The 1.1 A gap between rated and saturation current provides headroom for transient load steps — a buck converter feeding a 1.2 A load at steady state won't see inductance roll-off during a 50% load transient. The 75 mOhm max DCR translates to 169 mW of copper loss at 1.5 A, which is manageable in the 5x5 mm footprint without exceeding the 125°C rated ambient. Self-resonant frequency at 128 MHz means the inductor behaves inductively well above typical 500 kHz to 2 MHz switching frequencies used in point-of-load converters. The 100 kHz test frequency is the standard inductance measurement point for power inductors — the actual inductance at 1 MHz will be slightly lower but still within the ±20% tolerance band for most designs. ## Package Fit and Board Integration This low profile suits tight card-edge clearance in blade servers, base station line cards, and portable instrumentation where the PCB stack height is constrained. The shielded ferrite core means the inductor can sit next to sensitive analog or RF sections without injecting switching noise into the signal path.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS5015-182MRC 1.8 µH Shielded Power Inductor","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS5015-182MRC, 1.8 µH ±20% shielded drum core inductor, 1.5 A rated, 2.6 A saturation, 75 mOhm DCR, 5x5x1.5mm SMD.

Above this current the ferrite core saturates and inductance drops sharply — the inductor stops filtering and the downstream components see a current spike. The 1.5 A continuous rating leaves a 1.1 A margin for transient loads before saturation occurs."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Coilcraft provide for LPS5015-182MRC?","answer":"Coilcraft provides RoHS and REACH compliance documentation for this part.
