AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive power rails
The LQH32PH6R8NNCL is a shielded drum-core wirewound inductor from Murata's LQH32 series, rated 6.8 µH ±30% with a 1.1 A continuous current and 264 mOhm max DCR.
Saturation margin and self-resonant ceiling
Saturation current (Isat) is 1.3 A, 200 mA above the rated current — the inductance drops by 30% at that point, so the design should stay below 1.1 A to keep the ripple current within the switching regulator's loop stability budget. The self-resonant frequency is 40 MHz; above that the inductor behaves capacitively, so it should not be used in filters or converters switching above ~8 MHz (one-fifth of SRF as a rule of thumb). The ferrite core material is stable across this range, but DCR rises with temperature — budget a 20-30% increase in copper loss at 85°C ambient.
