Why the 150°C rating and AEC-Q200 matter for this inductor
The Murata DFE2MCAH2R2MJ0L is a shielded wirewound inductor from the DFE2M series, rated for 2.2 µH ±20% with a continuous current of 1.4 A and a saturation current of 1.7 A. The -40°C to 150°C operating range covers the full automotive underhood temperature band, including hot-soak conditions near the engine block.
Package and board-fit: 0806 footprint with 1.2 mm seated height
The shielded construction contains the magnetic flux — adjacent high-impedance traces or sensitive analog circuits are not coupled through stray inductance. Surface-mount termination with Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place at high volume. The metal composite core handles the saturation current of 1.7 A without the inductance roll-off typical of ferrite cores at elevated temperature.
Compliance and lifecycle posture
AEC-Q200 qualification is the only formal compliance listing in the spec record.
