The OEM auditor will expect PPAP documentation on the AEC-Q200 certificate; Coilcraft provides it per the standard. ## Package and board-fit for dense power layouts The shielded construction contains the magnetic flux within the core, which reduces radiated EMI to adjacent traces and components — critical when the inductor sits next to a switching node on a four-layer automotive board. The ferrite core material maintains inductance stability across this band; the 24 MHz self-resonant frequency is well above the 100 kHz to 2 MHz switching frequencies typical of automotive buck converters, so the inductor behaves as a pure inductive element in that band.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS6235-183MRC Shielded Power Inductor, 18 µH","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS6235-183MRC shielded drum core inductor, 18 µH ±20%, 1.2 A rated, 140 mOhm DCR, AEC-Q200 qualified, -40°C to 125°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Inductors & Chokes"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Coilcraft","Type":"Drum Core","Series":"LPS6235","Package":"Strip","Ratings":"AEC-Q200","Features":"-","Q @ Freq":"-","Shielding":"Shielded","Tolerance":"±20%","Inductance":"18 µH","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"2424 (6060 Metric)","Product Status":"Active","Material - Core":"Ferrite","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Size / Dimension":"0.244\\\" L x 0.244\\\" W (6.20mm x 6.20mm)","DC Resistance (DCR)":"140mOhm Max","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.2 A","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C","Supplier Device Package":"2424","Frequency - Self Resonant":"24MHz","Current - Saturation (Isat)":"1.7A","Inductance Frequency - Test":"100 kHz"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.5300","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/338f51cd4ddd180fcc59f5f9f9fae76d.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the saturation current and why does it matter for my DC-DC design?","answer":"The saturation current (Isat) is 1.7 A. Above this current the inductance drops sharply — the core saturates and the inductor behaves like a low-resistance wire, causing the switching transistor to see a current spike. For a buck converter output choke, the peak inductor current (DC load plus ripple) must stay below 1.7 A over the full temperature range to maintain regulation."},{"question":"Is LPS6235-183MRC AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive use?","answer":"This covers Grade 1 (under-hood and cabin) applications.
