Additional Details:
The '201610' in the part number indicates the dimensions of the inductor in millimeters (2.0mm x 1.6mm x 1.0mm). The 'ALM' likely signifies the series. 'R47' indicates an inductance value of 0.47 µH. 'MTGA' likely refers to specific packaging and tolerance specifications. This inductor's low DC resistance minimizes power loss, contributing to higher overall efficiency in the power supply circuit. Its high saturation current ensures that the inductance remains stable even when subjected to high current loads, preventing performance degradation. The thin film construction provides precise control over the inductor's electrical parameters, resulting in consistent and reliable performance. For accurate design and implementation, refer to the official TDK datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, including inductance tolerance, self-resonant frequency, and saturation current curves.
