18 µH shielded power inductor for automotive and industrial DC-DC stages
The Coilcraft LPS6235-183MRC is a shielded ferrite drum-core inductor rated 18 µH ±20% with a continuous current of 1.2 A and a saturation current of 1.7 A. 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.
