6.8 µH shielded power inductor for automotive and industrial dc-dc stages
The Murata DFEG7030D-6R8M=P3 is a 6.8 µH shielded power inductor from the DFEG7030D series, built with an iron powder core and rated for continuous current up to 3.5 A. Its 5.2 A saturation current defines the hard ceiling before inductance rolls off — a critical number for peak-current-mode converters where the inductor sees transient spikes above the dc average. With a maximum dc resistance of 59 mOhm, the copper loss at full rated current is about 0.72 W — a figure that drives the temperature rise inside the 7.00 mm × 6.60 mm × 3.00 mm surface-mount package. The shielded construction reduces magnetic flux leakage, which matters when the inductor sits close to sensitive analog or RF traces on the same board. Qualified to AEC-Q200, this part is tested for the thermal shock, vibration, and bias humidity profiles required in automotive electronics — think engine control units, transmission modules, or infotainment power rails.
NRND lifecycle — plan for a last-time buy or alternative
This means the part is still available for existing production but is not guaranteed for new projects — a last-time-buy window may close without notice. For a BOM that already uses this inductor, secure a final quantity or identify a pin-compatible replacement from the same DFEG7030D series before the supply tightens.
Sourcing and compliance — what to expect at order
The DFEG7030D-6R8M=P3 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suiting both prototype builds and production reels. Surface-mount on a nonstandard footprint — confirm the manufacturer's recommended land pattern for the 7.00 mm × 6.60 mm body before committing the PCB layout.
