Automotive-grade power inductor in a compact shielded package
The LQH3NPZ1R5MGRL is a shielded ferrite-core wirewound inductor from Murata's LQH3 series, qualified to AEC-Q200 for automotive applications. Its 1.5 µH ±20% inductance is tested at 1 MHz, with a DC resistance of 88.8 mOhm max — the DCR directly sets the I²R conduction loss in the power rail. Rated for 1.22 A continuous current and a saturation current of 1.4 A, the part provides headroom for transient loads without hard saturation. The 80 MHz self-resonant frequency keeps the inductive impedance dominant well above switching frequencies in DC-DC converters. The 1212 (3030 Metric) footprint with a 1.00 mm seated height fits dense PCB layouts where vertical space is constrained.
Last Buy — secure stock before the line needs it
Murata has marked the LQH3NPZ1R5MGRL as Last Buy — the final production window is open. For a storeroom keeper or BOM owner, this means ordering the estimated lifetime quantity now avoids a forced redesign later. Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) packaging, the reels should be stored in dry conditions per the component's MSL rating — moisture-sensitive inductors can absorb humidity and crack during reflow if not baked before use.
