Active production, metal-core construction
The DFE201612P-1R5M=P2 is an active-production shielded power inductor from Murata's DFE201612P series, built on a metal-core, wirewound drum structure. This construction delivers higher saturation current and lower core loss than equivalent ferrite-core parts in the same 0806 (2016 Metric) footprint. Rated at 1.5 µH with a 2.7 A continuous current, the part's 95 mOhm max DCR sets the I²R conduction loss — a key number for efficiency calculations in a 2.7 A rail, where the DC loss hits roughly 0.7 W at full load.
0806 footprint and thermal envelope
The shielded metal core reduces radiated EMI, which simplifies PCB layout when the inductor sits near sensitive analog or RF circuitry.
