Fixed Inductor - 3.3 uH, 0.45A, 442mOhm

This TDK fixed inductor offers an inductance of 3.3uH, a max DC current of 0.45A, and a max DC resistance of 442mOhms. Ideal for decoupling circuits, it features excellent DC superimposition characteristics and low DC resistance. The MLZ Series, ranging from 1005 to 2012 sizes, can handle wide - frequency band noise from low to high frequencies. H type products match the rated current of wound coils. W type products combine large current capacity with low resistance, while L type products have up to 60% lower resistance than W type.

Using this TDK fixed inductor is straightforward. First, identify the appropriate circuit where you need decoupling. Check the inductor's size (it comes in sizes from 1005 to 2012) to make sure it fits your design. When installing, connect it according to the circuit diagram. As for current, make sure the circuit's DC current doesn't exceed the inductor's maximum of 0.45A. If it does, the inductor might overheat or not work properly. Keep it away from sources of extreme heat and moisture, as these can affect its performance. To maintain it, just keep the area around it clean and free from dust. Regularly check for any signs of damage, like a broken coil or burnt parts. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the inductor.
