Active production, 1 µH, 2.7 A — the real limit is the DCR
The DFE201610E-1R0M=P2: Rated for 2.7 A continuous with a 3.6 A saturation current, the thermal ceiling is set by the 57 mOhm max DCR, not the saturation knee — the I²R loss at 2.7 A is 415 mW, which drives the temperature rise in the 0806 body. Inductance is 1 µH tested at 1 MHz, matching the switching frequency of many point-of-load buck converters.
0806 footprint, 1.00 mm profile — fits tight power rails
The metal composite core is fully shielded, reducing radiated EMI into adjacent traces or RF sections. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C, covering automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments. Supplied on tape and reel (cut tape available) for automated pick-and-place assembly. The supplier device package matches the 0806 footprint — no pad geometry surprises.
