Compact High Current 330 SMD Power Inductor Low DCR Stable for DC DC Converter
The 330 marking commonly represents a nominal inductance of 33 µH. The following values represent typical project-discussion requirements used by international buyers when evaluating a molded SMD power inductor.
Rated current, saturation current, DCR, temperature rise, and package dimensions cannot be determined by the 330 marking alone. Final ratings depend on the package size, magnetic material, internal conductor, winding structure, operating frequency, DC bias, ripple current, cooling conditions, and allowable temperature rise.

Product Description
The 330 Molded Power SMD Inductor is a compact surface-mount magnetic component designed for energy storage, current smoothing, ripple filtering, and EMI reduction in switching power supplies.
The 330 top marking commonly indicates a nominal inductance of 33 µH. However, the marking does not define the complete specification. Two inductors with the same 330 marking may have different:
- Package dimensions
- Inductance tolerances
- Saturation currents
- RMS current ratings
- DCR values
- Magnetic materials
- Temperature-rise limits

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the 330 marking mean?
The 330 marking commonly represents 33 µH. The first two digits are significant figures and the final digit indicates the number of zeros in microhenries. Always check the approved datasheet as marking systems can vary.
Q2: Does 330 define the package size?
No. The marking normally identifies inductance rather than physical dimensions. Package size and footprint must be confirmed through the drawing.
Q3: Is the rated current fixed for every 330 inductor?
No. Rated current depends on package size, conductor DCR, magnetic material, temperature-rise criterion, PCB copper area, and cooling conditions.
