The 85 mA rated current is the thermal limit at 25°C ambient, but the 52 mA saturation current (Isat) is the real ceiling for DC bias applications — once the core saturates, inductance drops off sharply and the ripple current spikes. For any rail carrying more than 52 mA DC, this part derates below its nominal inductance. ## 24 Ohm DCR and 700 kHz SRF — the loss and bandwidth trade-off DC resistance is 24 Ohm max, which at 85 mA produces 173 mW of copper loss (I²R). That heat stays inside the shielded ferrite core, so the part relies on the PCB copper pad for thermal dissipation — the 6.20 mm × 6.20 mm footprint gives a modest thermal path. The self-resonant frequency is 700 kHz; above that the inductor behaves capacitively. For switching converters, keep the switching frequency well below 700 kHz to stay in the inductive region. The shielded construction reduces radiated EMI, which helps pass CISPR 25 conducted emissions in automotive modules.","metaTitle":"Coilcraft LPS6235-825MRC Shielded Drum Core Inductor, 8.2 mH","metaDescription":"Coilcraft LPS6235-825MRC shielded drum core inductor, 8.2 mH ±20%, 85 mA rated, 52 mA saturation, AEC-Q200 qualified.","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":"8.2 mH","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)":"24Ohm Max","Current Rating (Amps)":"85 mA","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.138\\\" (3.50mm)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C","Supplier Device Package":"2424","Frequency - Self Resonant":"700kHz","Current - Saturation (Isat)":"52mA","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 for LPS6235-825MRC and why does it matter?","answer":"The saturation current (Isat) is 52 mA. Above this DC bias the ferrite core saturates and the inductance drops below the ±20% tolerance band. For any DC current exceeding 52 mA, the effective inductance is lower than 8.2 mH, which changes the ripple current and may push the converter out of regulation."},{"question":"What package does LPS6235-825MRC use and is it compatible with standard reflow?","answer":"The footprint is standard for this inductor size class and is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles.
