Obsolete — sourcing through independent channels
The DFE201612R-H-1R0M=P2: That means the only way to fill a BOM line calling for this exact order code is through independent surplus or broker inventory — the kind of stock that sits on a shelf after a production run closes or a design spins.
What the ratings mean for the repair bench
This is a 1 µH shielded drum-core wirewound inductor in an 0806 (2016 Metric) surface-mount package, built with an iron-powder core. The 2.6 A current rating and the 2.6 A saturation current are the same figure, so the inductor saturates right at its rated continuous current — no headroom between the thermal limit and the magnetic knee. With a 70 mOhm maximum DC resistance, the copper loss at 2.6 A is about 0.47 W — that heat has to get out of the 0806 body, which is only 2.0 mm by 1.6 mm by 1.2 mm tall.
Board-fit and replacement reality
The 0806 footprint is standard, so a pin-compatible replacement from another manufacturer's active line should fit the same pads — but the inductance, DCR, and saturation current must match to keep the power rail stable.
