Notes

When ordering, please specify termination and packaging codes: e.g. PFL3215-103MEC
Inductance tested at 7.9 MHz, 0.1 Vrms using a Coilcraft SMD-A test fixture with an Agilent/HP 4286 impedance analyzer and Coilcraft provided correlation pieces.
DCR measured at 25°C using a micro-ohmmeter. For other operating temperatures, use this DCR at Temperature calculator.
SRF measured using an Agilent/HP 8753D network analyzer and a Coilcraft SMD-D test fixture.
Isat: DC current at 25°C that causes the specified inductance drop from its value without current. Temperature derating curves.
Irms: Current that causes the specified temperature rise from 25°C ambient. This information is for reference only and does not represent absolute maximum ratings. Temperature derating curves.

Termination:

E = Halogen free component. RoHS-compliant matte tin over nickel over silver-platinum-glass frit terminations.
Q = RoHS tin-silver-copper (95.5/4/0.5). (Special order, added cost)
P = non-RoHS tin-lead (63/37). (Special order, added cost)

Packaging:

C = 7″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape (2000 parts per full reel).
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 (7500 parts per full reel).
