The **1360-R1** refers to a specific power inductor component, commonly manufactured by brands like **Coilcraft**. It is part of the 1360 series, designed for high-frequency and high-current power management applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The "R1" typically denotes the inductance value, representing **0.10 µH** (microhenries). Below are the general specifications for this electronic part: | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Inductance** | 0.10 µH | | **Tolerance** | ±20% | | **Inductor Type** | Shielded Surface Mount (SMD) | | **Core Material** | Composite / Ferrite | | **DC Resistance (DCR)** | Extremely Low (approx. 0.4 - 0.6 mΩ) | | **Isat (Saturation Current)** | High (typically 40A - 60A+) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +125°C | --- ### 2. Key Features * **High Current Handling:** Designed to manage high saturation currents without the inductance dropping significantly. * **Shielded Construction:** The part is magnetically shielded to minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), which is critical in dense PCB layouts. * **Low DCR:** The low direct current resistance minimizes power loss and heat generation, increasing overall circuit efficiency. * **Compact Footprint:** Usually follows a standard high-profile SMD footprint (approximately 13mm x 13mm), allowing for automated assembly. --- ### 3. Common Applications This component is primarily used in power conversion circuits where high efficiency and high speed are required: 1. **Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs):** Used in CPU/GPU power delivery on motherboards. 2. **DC-DC Converters:** Found in point-of-load (POL) converters for industrial and telecommunications equipment. 3. **Battery Powered Systems:** Ideal for devices requiring high current bursts with minimal energy waste. 4. **High-Frequency Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS):** Used to filter noise and store energy during switching cycles. --- ### 4.
