560 µH shielded drum core — AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive power rails
The Coilcraft LPS6235-564MRC is a shielded drum core inductor in the LPS6235 series, rated 560 µH with ±20% tolerance. The 290 mA current rating and 200 mA saturation current (Isat) define the DC bias ceiling — above Isat the inductance rolls off sharply, so the design margin should be held against the peak load current, not the average.
2424 footprint and 3.5 mm seated height — board-fit for dense DC-DC stages
The supplier device package is also listed as 2424 — the footprint matches a standard 6.0 mm × 6.0 mm pad layout. The ferrite core and shielded construction contain the magnetic field, so adjacent power-stage inductors or sensitive analog traces can be placed closer without coupling. Supplied in strip packaging. The 2 Ohm max DC resistance sets the I²R conduction loss — at 290 mA the copper loss is roughly 0.17 W, which the 2424 body dissipates without exceeding the 125°C limit in still air.
Self-resonant frequency and test conditions — what the 560 µH rating means at 100 kHz
Inductance is tested at 100 kHz — the standard frequency for power inductors in this range. The self-resonant frequency (SRF) is 3.1 MHz, above which the component behaves capacitively. For a buck converter switching at 500 kHz to 2 MHz, the inductor still operates well below SRF, so the 560 µH value holds with minimal AC loss. The ferrite core material is selected for high-permeability energy storage at low to moderate frequencies. Shielded construction reduces radiated EMI — a practical advantage when the inductor sits near the input filter or the switching node of a DC-DC converter.
