XAL7070-472MEC XAL7070-472 Inductor (4.7 uH)

XAL7070-472MEC is a high-performance shielded surface-mount power inductor manufactured by Coilcraft, a global leader in passive component solutions. This inductor, with an inductance of 4.7 µH, is designed to provide excellent power handling capabilities and magnetic shielding, making it ideal for a wide range of demanding power conversion and filtering applications. Its robust construction and advanced core material ensure reliable operation and efficient energy storage in compact designs.

Key Specifications

The XAL7070-472MEC boasts several critical specifications that define its performance and suitability for various applications. Its Inductance of 4.7 µH (with a ±20% tolerance) is a fundamental characteristic, determining its ability to store energy in a magnetic field and oppose changes in current. This value is crucial for filtering and energy storage in power circuits. The DCR Max (Maximum DC Resistance) of 14.26 mOhm and DCR Typ (Typical DC Resistance) of 12.96 mOhm indicate the resistive losses within the inductor’s winding. Lower DCR values are desirable as they translate to less power dissipation and higher efficiency, especially in high-current applications. Being Shielded (Yes) means the inductor is designed to contain its magnetic field, preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) with adjacent components and improving overall system reliability. The Core Material, a Composite, is chosen for its excellent magnetic properties, allowing for high current handling and good saturation characteristics in a compact size. The Mounting Type is Surface Mount, which is standard for modern PCB assembly, enabling automated manufacturing and miniaturization. The Voltage Rating of 60 V specifies the maximum voltage the inductor can safely withstand across its terminals. Its Size / Dimension of 8 x 7.7 x 7 mm highlights its compact footprint, crucial for space-constrained designs. The AEC-Q200 Qualified status signifies that this component meets the stringent reliability standards required for automotive applications. Key current ratings include Current – Peak (Ipk) of 13.6 A and Current – RMS (Irms) of 13.6 A, which are critical for determining the inductor’s ability to handle transient and continuous currents without overheating. The Current – Saturation (Isat) of 15.2 A indicates the DC current at which the inductance drops by a specified percentage (typically 20% or 30%), a crucial parameter for avoiding performance degradation under heavy loads. Finally, an Operating Temperature range of up to 165 °C ensures reliable performance in harsh thermal environments.
