1 µH metal-core inductor for power-line filtering
The Taiyo Yuden LBCNF2012KKT1R0MAD is a 1 µH multilayer inductor in the LBCN series, built with a metal core for stable inductance under DC bias. It handles 2.7 A continuous current and saturates at the same 2.7 A — meaning the inductance holds flat right up to the rated current, which is typical for metal-alloy core parts.
Current handling and DC resistance
Rated 2.7 A with a maximum DCR of 85 mOhm, the I²R loss at full current is about 620 mW — a figure to consider for thermal management in high-density designs. The -40°C to 150°C operating range covers under-hood automotive and industrial enclosures without derating concerns. Inductance is tested at 1 MHz, which is the standard for power inductors in this value range. The ±20% tolerance is typical for multilayer power inductors — the saturation current is the tighter spec for DC-DC converter design.
