6.8 µH shielded power inductor for DC-DC rails
The LQH32PN6R8NN0L is a 6.8 µH ±30% shielded wirewound inductor in Murata's LQH32 series, built on a ferrite core with a 1210 (3225 metric) footprint. Rated current is 850 mA continuous, with the same 850 mA saturation current — meaning the inductor does not saturate before reaching its thermal current limit, so the inductance holds flat across the full operating range. DC resistance is 288 mOhm max, which at 850 mA produces a 208 mW copper loss — manageable in a reflowed 1210 part but worth checking against the board's local thermal budget if the rail runs near the current limit continuously. Self-resonant frequency is 40 MHz, so the useful band for filtering ends well below that; it is a fit for switching regulators switching in the 1–6 MHz range. Operating temperature is -40°C to 85°C, covering most indoor and telecom ambient conditions but not extended automotive under-hood. The shielded construction contains the magnetic field inside the core — essential when the inductor sits next to a sensitive ADC or RF front-end on the same board layer.
Footprint and reflow fit
The ferrite core and wirewound construction mean the part is heavier than a multilayer ceramic; paste volume on the two end-terminals should match the 1210 land pattern with a 0.15 mm stencil aperture to avoid tombstoning. No exposed pad — thermal relief is through the terminal pads only.
