Obsolete — last-time-buy window closed
Murata has marked the DFEG12060D-4R7M=P3 as obsolete, meaning the manufacturer no longer accepts production orders. For existing BOM lines, sourcing now runs through independent distribution channels where remaining factory-new or surplus stock is identified and quoted lot-by-lot against an RFQ. Date-code provenance and traceability are confirmed at the quote stage.
10 A continuous, 14 A saturation — the power handling envelope
The 11 mOhm maximum DCR keeps I²R conduction losses under 1.1 W at rated current — a figure that governs the temperature rise inside the inductor and the derating required at elevated ambient.
AEC-Q200 and 125°C — automotive-grade thermal profile
Qualified to AEC-Q200, the automotive passive-component stress-test standard, which covers mechanical shock, vibration, solder heat resistance, and 1000-hour high-temperature life at rated current. This inductor is suited for under-hood and chassis-mount DC-DC stages where ambient reaches 105°C and the inductor self-heating adds another 20°C.
Shielded iron-powder construction — EMI and DC-bias stability
Shielded ferrite-less construction with an iron powder core: the distributed air gap inherent to iron powder gives a soft saturation curve, so inductance rolls off gradually past 14 A rather than collapsing abruptly. This matters for point-of-load regulators where the inductor sees current spikes above the DC average. The 13.00 mm x 12.60 mm x 6.00 mm nonstandard surface-mount package occupies about 164 mm² of PCB area — comparable to a 12 mm x 12 mm footprint. The low profile (6 mm seated height) fits 10 mm card-slot pitches common in automotive ECU enclosures.
