Product details

1210 footprint, 270 nH, 1.25 A — power rail filter fit

The LQH32CHR27M33L: The unshielded construction and ferrite core mean the magnetic field extends beyond the package — adjacent traces or low-impedance components should be kept at least one package width away to avoid coupling. The 250 MHz self-resonant frequency gives clean inductive behavior up into the VHF band, making it suitable for DC-DC converter output filters and high-frequency decoupling where the 270 nH value lands in the passband.

Current rating and DCR — the thermal budget decision

The 1.25 A current rating is the saturation or temperature-rise limit at 25°C ambient — above this the inductance rolls off as the core approaches saturation, and the I²R loss in the 34 mOhm DCR accelerates self-heating. The ±20% tolerance on the 270 nH nominal means the actual inductance can range from 216 nH to 324 nH. In a resonant or filter circuit, this spread shifts the corner frequency — design the surrounding network with enough margin that the filter still meets rejection targets at the tolerance extremes.

Active production — supply chain posture

For BOM planning, this part is single-sourced to Murata — there is no pin-compatible second source listed. If dual-sourcing is required, a parametric search for a 270 nH, 1.25 A, 1210 unshielded inductor from another manufacturer would need to match the footprint and the 34 mOhm DCR ceiling to avoid thermal issues.

Frequently asked questions

What is the self-resonant frequency of LQH32CHR27M33L and why does it matter?

The self-resonant frequency is 250 MHz. Above this frequency the inductor behaves capacitively, so the part should only be used in circuits operating well below 250 MHz — typically below 100 MHz for a safe margin.
