The **SD6030-360-R** is a high-performance, shielded surface-mount (SMD) power inductor part of the SD6030 series manufactured by **Eaton (formerly Cooper Bussmann)**. It is specifically designed for high-density applications requiring low electromagnetic interference (EMI). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the SD6030-360-R: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Inductance** | 36 µH | | **Tolerance** | ±20% | | **Rated Current (Irms)** | 1.14 Amps (Typical) | | **Saturation Current (Isat)** | 1.10 Amps (Typical) | | **DC Resistance (DCR)** | 0.201 Ohms (Max) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +125°C | | **Shielding** | Magnetically Shielded | | **Package Size** | 6.0mm x 6.0mm x 3.0mm | --- ### 2. Key Features * **Magnetic Shielding:** The ferrite drum core is enclosed in a ferrite sleeve. This construction minimizes stray magnetic fields, making it ideal for noise-sensitive circuits and preventing interference with nearby components. * **Low Profile:** With a height of only 3.0mm, it is suitable for slim consumer electronics. * **High Energy Storage:** Designed to handle significant energy density relative to its small footprint. * **RoHS Compliant:** The "-R" suffix indicates that the part is lead-free and meets RoHS environmental standards. --- ### 3. Common Applications This inductor is typically used in power management circuits where voltage conversion is required: 1. **DC-DC Converters:** Buck (step-down), Boost (step-up), and SEPIC topologies. 2. **Portable Electronics:** Used in tablets, smartphones, and handheld gaming devices. 3. **LED Drivers:** Provides steady current for lighting applications. 4. **Computer Peripherals:** Found on motherboards and graphic cards for local voltage regulation. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the Eaton nomenclature helps in identifying variants: * **SD:** Series name (Shielded Drum Inductor). * **6030:** Physical dimensions (Approx. 6.0mm width/length and 3.0mm height). * **360:** Inductance code (36 followed by 0 zeros = 36 µH). * **R:** RoHS compliant. ---
