NRND — plan the BOM migration now
The LBC2518T150KV: This means the part is still available for existing production but is no longer being qualified into new builds.
15 µH, 285 mA, 845 mOhm — the DC bias tradeoff
Rated 15 µH at 2.52 MHz test frequency, this wirewound inductor carries 285 mA DC with a maximum DC resistance of 845 mOhm. The unshielded construction means the magnetic field radiates — keep sensitive traces or adjacent inductors at least one part-width away to avoid coupling. The 23 MHz self-resonant frequency is high enough that the inductor behaves as an inductor well into the HF band, making it suitable for DC-DC converter output filters or bias-tee circuits where the operating frequency stays below a few megahertz.
1007 footprint, tape-and-reel feed
Housed in the 1007 (2518 Metric) surface-mount package — 2.50 mm x 1.80 mm footprint, 2.00 mm seated height. The tape-and-reel packaging (TR) is pick-and-place ready for standard 8 mm feeder pockets. No moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is listed, but wirewound inductors of this size typically ship at MSL 1 — no bake required before reflow.
