68 µH wirewound in a 1210 footprint
The LBC3225T680KR is a Taiyo Yuden wirewound inductor in the LB, C Type series, offering 68 µH inductance with ±10% tolerance in an unshielded 1210 (3225 Metric) surface-mount package. Rated for 190 mA continuous current with a 1 Ohm DC resistance, the part's self-resonant frequency sits at 8 MHz — the inductance rolls off above that point, so keep the switching frequency or signal content well below 8 MHz to stay in the inductive region.
NRND — plan the BOM migration
Existing builds can still source it, but new BOM entries should evaluate a replacement before the part exits the supply channel entirely. The 1210 footprint and 68 µH / 190 mA rating narrow the replacement search — look for a shielded or unshielded wirewound with similar DCR and self-resonant frequency to maintain the same filter or DC-DC converter performance.
Temperature range and reflow fit
Operating from -40°C to 105°C, the inductor suits ambient environments up to industrial equipment interiors — the 105°C ceiling is the component body temperature, not the air around it, so account for self-heating from the 190 mA current plus the enclosure's internal rise. Tape-and-reel packaging (Cut Tape also available) feeds directly into the feeder.
