150 µH in a 1007 footprint — what the ratings mean for your filter or bias line
The LBC2518T151MV is a wirewound inductor from Taiyo Yuden's LB, C Type series, offering 150 µH inductance in an unshielded 1007 (2518 Metric) surface-mount package. Rated for 95 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 7.93 Ohm — the DCR sets the I²R heating floor, so at full rated current the inductor dissipates roughly 72 mW, well within the 105 °C operating ceiling for a 1007 body. Self-resonant frequency is 7 MHz, measured at 796 kHz — above 7 MHz the inductor behaves capacitively, so keep the operating frequency below this point for the inductance value to hold.
For a new design, look at the LB series' active 150 µH wirewound options in the same 1007 footprint — the DCR and current rating will vary, so re-verify the I²R budget and saturation margin.
Board-fit note: 1007 (2518 Metric) footprint
Operating temperature range is -40 °C to 105 °C, covering industrial and most automotive cabin environments — the 95 mA current rating is at ambient; derate linearly above 85 °C per the standard wirewound curve in the series datasheet.
