Product details

39 µH at 110 mA — DC bias and self-heating check

The LQH32MN390J23L is a 39 µH drum core wirewound inductor from Murata's LQH32 series, rated for 110 mA continuous current.

Q factor and self-resonant frequency — usable band

A minimum Q of 40 at 1 MHz and a self-resonant frequency of 11 MHz define the useful operating band. Below SRF the inductor behaves as an inductor; above it the parasitic capacitance dominates and the impedance rolls off. For a 39 µH part, 11 MHz SRF is typical for this core geometry — it means the inductor is clean for switching frequencies up to roughly 1-2 MHz, where the Q is still high and the impedance is inductive.

1210 footprint and unshielded construction — layout considerations

Unshielded drum core means the magnetic field extends beyond the body; keep sensitive traces, ground planes, or adjacent magnetics at least one part-width away to avoid coupling. The ferrite core material is specified, so the inductance curve vs DC bias is typical for a ferrite drum — expect the inductance to drop off above the rated current.

Frequently asked questions

What is the inductance tolerance and test frequency?

The nominal inductance is 39 µH with a ±5% tolerance, tested at 1 MHz. The tighter tolerance band (±5% vs the more common ±10% or ±20%) makes this part suitable for tuned circuits or filters where the absolute inductance value matters.

What is the self-resonant frequency and Q factor?

The self-resonant frequency is 11 MHz, and the minimum Q factor is 40 at 1 MHz. The SRF sets the upper frequency limit where the inductor still behaves as an inductive element; above 11 MHz the parasitic capacitance dominates.
