6.8 µH, 1 A — DC-DC filter fit
The LQH2HPZ6R8MJRL is a 6.8 µH shielded wirewound inductor rated for 1 A continuous current, with a saturation floor of 1.05 A where inductance begins to roll off. In a buck converter output filter, the 1 A rating governs the RMS current the winding can carry before the 312 mOhm max DCR pushes the copper temperature above the ferrite core's limit.
Shielded ferrite — EMI containment in mixed-signal boards
The ferrite drum core is fully shielded, which contains the magnetic flux within the 1008 package footprint. On a board with a sensitive ADC or RF front-end adjacent to the switching regulator, the shielded construction prevents the inductor's fringing field from coupling into the analog ground plane or signal traces. Self-resonant frequency is 35 MHz — above this point the parasitic capacitance between winding layers dominates and the component behaves as a capacitor. For a 2.2 MHz switching regulator, the 35 MHz SRF gives roughly a decade of headroom before the impedance curve inverts, so the inductor stays inductive across the fundamental and first few harmonics.
1008 package — board-space and height budget
This footprint fits the standard 1008 land pattern and keeps the component below the 1.2 mm clearance common in low-profile enclosures for automotive body controllers or portable instrumentation. Tolerance is ±20%, which is typical for power-grade ferrite inductors — the inductance tolerance accounts for the DC bias effect and temperature drift of the core permeability. The 1 MHz test frequency is the standard for measuring inductance in the 1–10 µH range.
