240 nH at 5.4 A — the DC-DC rail inductor that doesn't saturate early
The LBCNF2012KKTR24MAD is a 240 nH multilayer power inductor in the 0805 footprint, rated for 5.4 A continuous with a DCR of 20 mOhm max. The saturation current is 4.8 A, meaning the inductance holds within tolerance up to that point — beyond it the core saturates and the inductance collapses, which a downstream regulator sees as a sudden current step.
Why the 150°C rating matters for your board
The metal-core construction handles the temperature without the permeability drift you see in ferrite cores above 125°C.
