The ferrite core and shield contain the magnetic field, reducing radiated EMI that couples into adjacent traces or sensitive analog stages. Rated current is 170 mA, with saturation current specified at 150 mA — the inductor's usable DC load sits just below the saturation knee. A 7.4 Ohm maximum DCR means the DC copper loss at full rated current is roughly 0.21 W, which the 1.5 mm seated height and nonstandard package must dissipate without exceeding the 125°C top-end operating limit. ## Board-fit constraints — footprint and clearance The nonstandard case means the PCB layout should follow Coilcraft's recommended pad geometry rather than a generic 5 mm x 5 mm footprint, since the termination pads may be smaller than the body outline. Self-resonant frequency is 5.7 MHz, measured at 100 kHz test frequency. For a buck converter switching at 500 kHz to 1 MHz, the inductor's impedance stays inductive well above the switching harmonic content, so the filter behaves as designed without parasitic capacitive coupling at the switching edge. ## Temperature grade and operating life The ferrite core's permeability stays stable across this range, though DCR increases with temperature — the 7.4 Ohm max is specified at 25°C; expect roughly 10% higher DCR at 125°C.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS5015-334MRC Drum Core Inductor, 330 µH, 170 mA","metaDescription":"Active Coilcraft LPS5015-334MRC shielded drum core inductor, 330 µH ±20%, 170 mA rated, 150 mA saturation, 7.4 Ohm DCR, -40°C to +125°C.
