Active production — no last-time-buy pressure
The LQH2MCN5R6M02L: This is a standard catalog inductor in the LQH2 series, not a custom or limited-run part, so supply continuity is typical for the product family.
5.6 µH, 280 mA — the fit for DC-DC output filtering
Rated 5.6 µH at 1 MHz test frequency with a ±20% tolerance, the LQH2MCN5R6M02L carries a 280 mA continuous current rating and a 1.17 Ohm maximum DC resistance. The 280 mA rating is the saturation or thermal limit — for a DC-DC converter output, the inductor's RMS current should stay below this figure to avoid efficiency loss or magnetic saturation that collapses the inductance. With a 60 MHz self-resonant frequency, this inductor supports switching frequencies well into the MHz range before parasitic capacitance dominates the impedance.
0806 footprint — board-space budget for dense layouts
The unshielded construction means the inductor's magnetic field radiates into the surrounding area — layout should keep sensitive traces or other magnetics at least a few millimeters away to avoid coupling.
