Additional Details:

The XAL6030-561MEC inductor has an inductance value of 560 uH (561). It is designed for surface mounting. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +125°C. The saturation current and RMS current ratings are important parameters to consider when selecting this inductor for a specific application. It is crucial to ensure that the inductor does not saturate under the maximum operating current to maintain its inductance value and prevent overheating. The low DCR contributes to improved efficiency by minimizing resistive losses in the inductor winding.
