10 µH shielded inductor for automotive and industrial DC-DC stages
The Murata LQH2HPZ100MDRL is a 10 µH shielded wirewound inductor in the LQH2 series, qualified to AEC-Q200 for automotive-grade reliability. It is rated for 430 mA continuous current with a saturation current floor of 420 mA, meaning the inductance holds within tolerance right up to the rated current — no abrupt roll-off before the limit. The 1.44 Ω maximum DCR sets the I²R conduction loss at 266 mW at full rated current — a figure to budget into the thermal design for the 1008 footprint, especially in enclosed or high-ambient environments.
AEC-Q200 qualification and temperature grade
AEC-Q200 qualification means this inductor has passed the stress tests required for automotive passive components: thermal shock, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and vibration per the AEC-Q200 rev D test plan.
The low profile suits tight-height constraints in ECU modules, ADAS camera boards, or infotainment power rails. The ferrite core and shielded construction contain the magnetic flux, reducing radiated EMI into adjacent traces or sensitive analog circuits — a consideration for layout in mixed-signal designs.
