Additional Details

The CI4532 refers to the physical dimensions of the inductor (4.5mm x 3.2mm). The 100K designates an inductance value of 10uH (microhenries) and tolerance, where 'K' usually indicates a +/-10% tolerance. It is constructed with a ferrite core material to provide high inductance and saturation current. It is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly and is suitable for reflow soldering processes. Yageo datasheets provide detailed specifications, including saturation current, self-resonant frequency, and operating temperature range.
