Technical Specifications:

The XAL5030-472MEC has an inductance of 4.7 μH. The saturation current (Isat) and RMS current (Irms) are critical parameters and define the current handling capability of the inductor; these values should be obtained from the datasheet. The DC resistance (DCR) is typically very low. The operating temperature range is also specified in the datasheet. Shielded inductors like this often have a self-resonant frequency (SRF) to consider when designing circuits.
