It carries a continuous current rating of 1.6 A and saturates at 2.35 A, with a maximum DC resistance of 30 mOhm. The 1.6 A rating is the thermal current limit at the rated ambient — the part can carry this continuously without exceeding the temperature rise budget. The 2.35 A saturation current is the point where inductance drops by 30%; for a buck converter running at 1 MHz, the peak inductor current during a load transient should stay below this to avoid a hard saturation that stresses the switch FET. ## AEC-Q200 qualification and temperature envelope Rated AEC-Q200, this inductor meets the automotive-grade passive component stress test qualification — temperature cycling, moisture resistance, mechanical shock, and vibration per the AEC-Q200 rev D test plan. The shielded construction contains the magnetic flux within the core — this matters when the inductor sits adjacent to a sensitive analog front-end or a wireless transceiver, because the stray field from an unshielded drum core couples into nearby traces and shifts the noise floor. ## Board-fit and sourcing posture The 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm footprint is common across the LQH3 series, so a single land pattern serves multiple inductance values for BOM consolidation. Tape-and-reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place at standard 8 mm carrier pitch.","metaTitle":"Murata LQH3NPZ1R0MMEL 1 µH Shielded Inductor, 1.6 A","metaDescription":"Murata LQH3NPZ1R0MMEL drum core wirewound inductor, 1 µH ±20%, 1.6 A rated, 2.35 A saturation, 30 mOhm DCR, AEC-Q200, 1212 package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Inductors & Chokes"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Murata Electronics","Type":"Drum Core, Wirewound","Series":"LQH3","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Ratings":"AEC-Q200","Shielding":"Shielded","Tolerance":"±20%","Inductance":"1 µH","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"1212 (3030 Metric)","Product Status":"Active","Material - Core":"Ferrite","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Size / Dimension":"0.118\\\" L x 0.118\\\" W (3.00mm x 3.00mm)","Base Product Number":"LQH3NPZ","DC Resistance (DCR)":"30mOhm Max","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.6 A","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Supplier Device Package":"1212 (3030 Metric)","Frequency - Self Resonant":"100MHz","Current - Saturation (Isat)":"2.35A","Inductance Frequency - Test":"1 MHz"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.4100","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/04bb8eab2a5a3c3acc807597d1e689ae.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the self-resonant frequency of LQH3NPZ1R0MMEL?","answer":"The self-resonant frequency is 100 MHz.
