## **Shielded Power Inductors MLC12xx/15xx** 

- Soft saturation makes them ideal for VRD/VRM applications 

- Special materials eliminate all thermal aging issues. 

**Designer’s Kit C387** contains samples of all values **Core material** Iron 

**Core and winding loss** See www.coilcraft.com/coreloss **Terminations** RoHS tin-silver over copper. Other terminations available at additional cost. 

**Weight** MLC12xx 1.91 – 3.04 g;  MLC15xx 2.73 – 5.12 g **Ambient temperature** –40°C to +85°C with I rms current 

**Maximum part temperature:** The part may be operated without damage as long its temperature (ambient + self-heating) does not exceed +125°C. 

**Storage temperature** Component: –40°C to +125°C. Packaging: –40°C to +80°C 

**Resistance to soldering heat** Max three 40 second reflows at +260°C, parts cooled to room temperature between cycles **Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)** 1 (unlimited floor life at <30°C / 85% relative humidity) 

**Failures in Time (FIT) / Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)** 38 per billion hours / 26,315,789 hours, calculated per Telcordia SR-332 **PCB washing** Only pure water or alcohol recommended

## 1. When ordering, please specify **termination** and **packaging** codes: ~~——|~~ **MLC1245-402MLC** 

**Termination: L** = RoHS compliant tin-silver over copper. 

Special order: **T** = RoHS tin-silver-copper (95.5/4/0.5) or **S** = non-RoHS tin-lead (63/37). **Packaging: C** = 7″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape. 

- **B** = Less than full reel. In tape, but not machine ready. To have a leader and trailer added ($25 charge), use code letter C instead. 

- **D** = 13″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape. Factory order only, not stocked. 

2. Inductance measured at 100 kHz, 0.1 Vrms, 0 Adc using a Coilcraft SMD ‑A fixture in an Agilent/HP 4284A LCR meter. 

3. SRF measured using an Agilent/HP4291A impedance analyzer and a Coilcraft 16193 fixture. 

4. DC current at which the inductance drops the specified amount from its value without current. 

5. Current that causes the specified temperature rise from 25°C ambient. 

6. Electrical specifications at 25°C. 

Refer to Doc 362 “Soldering Surface Mount Components” before soldering.
