15 µH shielded inductor in a 1008 footprint
The Murata LQH2HPN150MJRL is a 15 µH shielded wirewound inductor in the LQH2 series, built on a ferrite core and housed in a 1008 (2520 Metric) surface-mount package. It is rated for 420 mA continuous current with a DCR of 660 mΩ max, and its saturation current is 690 mA — the point where inductance drops by 30%.
Ratings that govern the fit
The 420 mA current rating is the continuous DC current at which the temperature rise stays within the part's limits — push past that and the core saturates or the winding overheats. The 660 mΩ DCR means a 0.28 V drop at full rated current, which matters for efficiency in a low-voltage rail. The self-resonant frequency of 20 MHz sets the upper bound on usable frequency; above that the inductor behaves capacitively. Shielding means the magnetic field is contained within the ferrite shell — critical when this inductor sits next to a sensitive ADC or RF section on the same board.
Last Buy — what that means for procurement
Murata lists the LQH2HPN150MJRL as Last Buy — the manufacturer has announced its end of life, and the final production run is either underway or closed. For a BOM line that depends on this exact inductance, current rating, and 1008 footprint, the supply window is closing. Sourcing through independent distribution is the channel for this part now. Availability is lot-specific and confirmed at quote time against the BOM quantity. A pin-compatible alternative from the same LQH2 family may exist, but no cross-reference is recorded — the buyer should verify the footprint and ratings against the board's layout before committing a replacement.
