Last Buy — what it means for your BOM line
Murata has flagged the DFEG12060D-1R5M=P3 as Last Buy, so the window for placing final orders is closing. No official successor part number is listed by Murata for this order code. If you need a drop-in replacement for a new design, a parametric search on the DFEG12060D family (same footprint, same 1.5 µH target) may turn up an active sibling — but confirm the inductance tolerance, DCR, and saturation current against your circuit before committing.
17 A continuous, 23 A saturation — the real current ceiling
The saturation current is 23 A, giving about 35 % headroom above the continuous rating. That margin matters for motor-drive or battery-charger input filters where the inductor sees a DC bias plus ripple current — the core doesn't roll off until you push past 23 A. AEC-Q200 qualification means this inductor passed the automotive stress tests (thermal shock, vibration, moisture resistance) per the passive-component standard. It's suited for under-hood or chassis-mounted DC-DC converters where the temperature swings and mechanical shock are part of the operating environment.
Shielded iron-powder construction
The shield reduces radiated EMI, which simplifies layout in tight power stages — the 13.00 mm × 12.60 mm footprint fits a nonstandard pad layout, so check the land pattern against your PCB before routing. Inductance is tested at 100 kHz, a typical switching frequency for automotive and industrial buck converters.
