16 A continuous, 21 A saturation — where the rating matters
The DFEH12060D-2R2M=P3 is a shielded power inductor from Murata's DFEH12060D series, rated for 16 A continuous current with a saturation current of 21 A. The 4.4 mOhm max DCR keeps conduction losses low — at 16 A the I²R loss is about 1.13 W, which the 155°C-rated iron powder core and shielded construction handle without saturating the magnetic path. AEC-Q200 qualification means this part passed automotive-grade stress testing: temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and bias humidity. It is suited for DC-DC converter output filters in engine control units, transmission modules, and battery management systems where ambient temperatures push past 125°C.
Last Buy — the procurement window is closing
Murata has marked the DFEH12060D-2R2M=P3 as Last Buy. This is the final opportunity to secure production quantities before the line closes. For existing designs already qualified on this inductor, the immediate action is to assess remaining lifetime demand and place a last-time buy covering the full production run.
Iron powder core and shielded construction
The iron powder core material gives this inductor a soft saturation characteristic — inductance rolls off gradually past the 21 A saturation point rather than collapsing abruptly, which is useful in power stages that see transient current spikes above the continuous rating. Shielding reduces radiated EMI, so the inductor can sit close to sensitive analog or RF circuitry without coupling noise into adjacent traces. The 13.00mm x 12.60mm footprint and 6.00mm seated height fit standard power-stage layouts; the nonstandard package means the pad geometry matches the datasheet-recommended land pattern.
