In a buck converter or EMI filter, that inductance value sets the ripple current and the corner frequency — a 470 µH choke at a 100 kHz switching node gives you a low ripple ratio for moderate load currents, but the 160 mA continuous rating and 120 mA saturation current mean this part is sized for signal-chain or auxiliary rail filtering, not a high-current power stage. ## Shielded construction and the rework bench The shield is a ferrite drum core wrapped in a magnetic shield — it contains the flux within the package, so you can place it next to a sensitive ADC or PLL without coupling noise into the signal path. Pin 1 is marked by the chamfer on the package body — look for the bevel before you reflow. ## DC resistance and the thermal budget For a 125°C ambient application, derate the current to keep the core temperature below the ferrite Curie point. The self-resonant frequency of 4.9 MHz tells you the inductor looks inductive up to about 1-2 MHz; above that, parasitic capacitance dominates and the impedance drops.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS5015-474MRC Shielded Drum Core Inductor, 470 µH","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS5015-474MRC shielded drum core inductor, 470 µH ±20%, 160 mA rated, 120 mA saturation, 7.5 Ohm DCR, -40°C to 125°C.

This is the DC current at which the inductance drops by a specified percentage — typically 10-30% for ferrite core inductors. For designs that see transient peaks above 120 mA, the inductance will roll off, so the 160 mA continuous rating applies only when the core is not saturating."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/coilcraft/LPS5015-474MRC","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/coilcraft/LPS5015-474MRC when reusing this data.
