1.5 µH Drum Core Inductor in 1007 Package
The Taiyo Yuden LBC2518T1R5M is a drum core, wirewound inductor from the LB, C Type series, offering 1.5 µH inductance with ±20% tolerance in an unshielded 1007 (2518 Metric) surface-mount package. Rated for 730 mA continuous current with a DC resistance of 110 mOhm, this part is suited for power supply filtering and DC-DC converter output stages where the 1.5 µH value and 80 MHz self-resonant frequency fit the switching noise spectrum.
NRND Lifecycle and Sourcing Reality
This inductor carries a Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) status, meaning Taiyo Yuden continues to support existing designs but advises against new design-ins.
Parametric Fit for Power Filtering
The 1.5 µH inductance at 7.96 MHz test frequency, combined with 730 mA current handling and 110 mOhm DCR, defines the I²R loss and saturation margin for a buck converter output filter or input pi-filter stage. Operating temperature range of -25°C to 105°C covers most commercial and industrial environments, though the ferrite core material's permeability will shift with temperature, affecting the inductance value at the extremes.
