Product details

15 µH at 170 mA — the DC bias ceiling for this footprint

The LQH32MN150J23L is a drum core wirewound inductor from Murata's LQH32 series, rated for 15 µH at 170 mA with a ±5% tolerance. Unshielded construction means the flux field extends beyond the component body — adjacent traces carrying high-frequency signals or sensitive analog lines need a keep-out zone roughly one part-width from the inductor. The self-resonant frequency of 16 MHz is the upper bound for useful inductance; above that the component behaves capacitively.

1210 footprint, tape-and-reel supply

The nonstandard case designation means the pad layout should follow the manufacturer's recommended land pattern rather than a generic 1210 footprint. Supplied on tape and reel with cut-tape option for prototyping. The Q factor of 35 at 1 MHz indicates moderate AC losses — adequate for power supply filtering and DC-DC converter input/output stages where the ripple frequency stays below 10 MHz.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to LQH32MN150J23L in the same family?

Within the LQH32 series, the closest parametric peer is the LQH32MN150K23L (15 µH, ±10% tolerance). The only difference is the tolerance band — the ±5% version offers tighter inductance control for frequency-sensitive circuits like LC filters or resonant tanks. For bulk decoupling where ±10% is acceptable, the K-grade variant is a direct drop-in replacement with the same footprint and current rating.
