Specifications

The RLF5018T-6R8M1R1 has an inductance value of 6.8μH. It features a low DC resistance to reduce power losses. Its saturation current rating is relatively high, meaning the inductor can handle a significant amount of DC current before its inductance value drops substantially. The typical operating temperature range is between -40°C to +85°C. Its size is 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.8 mm.

The RLF series from TDK is a popular choice for applications requiring efficient power conversion in a small footprint. The RLF5018T-6R8M1R1 is particularly useful in portable devices and other space-constrained applications.
