Reading a power inductor datasheet for substitution: Isat 20 % vs 30 %, Irms temperature rise, test frequency and temperature rating
**Short answer:** Two power inductors with the same inductance and similar current numbers are often not comparable, because each maker defines the numbers differently. Before you call a part a substitute, put both datasheets on the same ba
MAZO VCMA-0420 power inductor series: all 14 values, saturation vs heating limits and how to pick one
**Short answer:** The MAZO VCMA-0420-xxx-M-1A series is a shielded, AEC-Q200 qualified power inductor family in a 4.75x4.45x2.0 mm maximum package, with 14 inductance values from 0.10 to 10.0 µH (±20 %, tested at 1 MHz / 1.0 V). Typical Isa
