The drum core construction wraps the winding around a ferrite bobbin, packing the inductance into a 6.00 mm square footprint while the ferrite sleeve contains the magnetic flux — radiated EMI stays off adjacent traces and components. Rated at 640 mA with a saturation current of 480 mA, the usable DC bias is limited by the core, not the winding temperature. The 610 mOhm max DCR produces 250 mW of I²R loss at the rated current — the shielded package dissipates that into the board copper without exceeding the 85°C ambient ceiling. The self-resonant frequency is 7.7 MHz, so the inductor behaves as a pure inductance well below that point; above it the parasitic capacitance dominates and the impedance rolls off. Inductance is tested at 100 kHz.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS6225-104MRC 100 µH Shielded Drum Core Inductor","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS6225-104MRC, 100 µH ±20% shielded drum core inductor, 640 mA rated, 480 mA saturation, 610 mOhm DCR, 2424 SMD, -40°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Inductors & Chokes"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Coilcraft","Type":"Drum Core","Series":"LPS6225","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Ratings":"-","Features":"-","Q @ Freq":"-","Shielding":"Shielded","Tolerance":"±20%","Inductance":"100 µH","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"2424 (6060 Metric)","Product Status":"Active","Material - Core":"Ferrite","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Size / Dimension":"0.236\\\" L x 0.236\\\" W (6.00mm x 6.00mm)","DC Resistance (DCR)":"610mOhm Max","Current Rating (Amps)":"640 mA","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Supplier Device Package":"2424","Frequency - Self Resonant":"7.7MHz","Current - Saturation (Isat)":"480mA","Inductance Frequency - Test":"100 kHz"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6100","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/8f6a923824f9701ab1044846a3e5e77e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the saturation current and why does it matter for this inductor?","answer":"The saturation current (Isat) is 480 mA, which is lower than the 640 mA thermal current rating. This means the usable DC bias is capped by the core — once the current exceeds 480 mA the inductance drops sharply, and the circuit (a buck converter output filter or EMI choke, for example) loses its filtering action.
