Product Description
The product shown is a compact shielded SMD power-inductor platform intended for energy storage, current smoothing, ripple reduction, point-of-load conversion, and power-rail filtering.
The top surface is marked 470. Under a common three-digit inductor coding convention, 470 represents:
47×100 μH = 47 μH
However, marking systems vary by manufacturer and product series. The actual nominal inductance, tolerance, current ratings, DCR, package dimensions, and magnetic material must be confirmed through the approved specification rather than inferred from the marking alone.
The image shows a compact gray rectangular body with a flat marked top and enclosed sides. It appears consistent with a molded or magnetically shielded SMD power inductor, but its internal core material, winding method, terminals, dimensions, and bottom construction are not visible.
Required development information includes:
- Nominal inductance and tolerance
- Inductance test frequency and voltage
- Minimum inductance under DC bias
- Saturation-current criterion
- RMS and peak current
- Ripple-current waveform
- Switching frequency
- Maximum DCR
- Self-resonant-frequency requirement
- Ambient temperature and permitted temperature rise
- Package dimensions and land pattern

Product Characteristics
Compact Surface Mount Construction
The rectangular SMD format supports automated placement and compact PCB integration. Final footprint and height must be confirmed before layout approval.
Magnetic Shielding Options
A molded composite or closed magnetic structure can reduce external magnetic-field leakage compared with an unshielded drum-core inductor. Actual shielding depends on material, geometry, current, frequency, and PCB conditions.
Inductance Under DC Bias
Small-signal inductance does not describe performance at the operating current. Buyers should define the minimum acceptable inductance at the required DC bias and temperature.
Saturation and Temperature Rise Ratings
Saturation current and temperature-rise current are different:
- Saturation current is based on an agreed inductance-reduction criterion.
- Temperature-rise current depends on winding and core losses, PCB copper, airflow, ambient temperature, and the permitted rise.
Low DCR Development
Conductor cross-section, turn count, terminal geometry, package size, and magnetic material can be reviewed to reduce DCR while retaining the required inductance and bias performance.
High Frequency Loss Control
Core loss, skin effect, proximity effect, ripple amplitude, frequency, duty cycle, and thermal path must be evaluated together.
Reflow and PCB Integration
Terminal finish, coplanarity, land pattern, stencil design, solder paste, reflow temperature, time above liquidus, PCB copper area, and nearby heat sources influence assembly and thermal performance.
Applications
- Industrial point-of-load converters
- Buck boost and SEPIC power stages
- PLC and automation modules
- Telecom and networking equipment
- Data-center power modules
- Emergency-power and UPS control boards
- Energy-storage BMS and PCS electronics
- EV charging control electronics
- Motor-drive control boards
- Robotics and embedded controllers
- HVAC and building-control electronics
- Medical and laboratory electronics where appropriately evaluated
- DC power-supply output filtering
- Battery-powered industrial equipment
- EMI-oriented power-rail filtering
Suitability must be confirmed according to the actual DC bias, ripple waveform, electrical, thermal, mechanical, assembly, and environmental conditions.
Quality Control
Incoming Material Inspection
Inspection may cover magnetic materials, copper wire, molded compounds, terminals, plating, marking materials, carrier tape, reels, and supplier documentation.
Design Review
Engineering review can evaluate inductance, tolerance, test conditions, DC-bias curve, saturation criterion, RMS and peak current, ripple waveform, core loss, copper loss, DCR, AC resistance, self-resonant frequency, shielding, temperature rise, footprint, terminals, reflow profile, and PCB thermal conditions.
In Process Control
Controls may include winding turns, wire tension, conductor preparation, magnetic-body assembly, gap control, terminal joining, molding and curing, plating, trimming, forming, marking, dimensional inspection, and packaging orientation.
Electrical Testing
Tests may include:
- Nominal inductance
- Inductance tolerance
- DCR
- Impedance
- Q factor where applicable
- Self-resonant frequency
- Inductance under DC bias
- Saturation-current characterization

FAQ
Does the 470 marking mean 47 uH?
It commonly represents 47 uH under the three-digit marking convention. Because marking systems vary, the value and tolerance must be confirmed through the specification or measurement.
Is 470 the complete model number?
Not necessarily. It may be an inductance code rather than a complete series or size designation.
What information is required for quotation?
Provide inductance, tolerance, test conditions, bias requirements, saturation criterion, RMS and peak current, ripple waveform, switching frequency, DCR, self-resonant frequency, dimensions, land pattern, terminal finish, reflow profile, demand, and tests.
Can the inductance be customized?
Yes. It may be adjusted through magnetic material, geometry, air gap, conductor, and turns count within electrical and mechanical constraints.
How should saturation current be specified?
Specify the DC current, test temperature, and allowed percentage reduction in inductance from the zero-bias value.
Is saturation current the same as temperature-rise current?
No. Saturation current is based on inductance reduction. Temperature-rise current is based on losses and thermal conditions.
Can DCR be reduced?
DCR can be optimized through conductor cross-section, turn count, terminal geometry, package size, and magnetic material.
Is the product magnetically shielded?
The body appears consistent with a shielded or molded inductor, but its shielding construction and external-field performance must be confirmed.
Can the package dimensions be customized?
Package size, height, land pattern, and terminals may be customized when tooling and production conditions permit.
Can the terminal finish be customized?
Terminal metallization may be selected according to solderability, storage, reflow, and customer material requirements.
Can Chipsen develop a replacement from a sample?
Yes. PCB conditions, current waveform, thermal environment, and qualification requirements should also be provided.
What tests are available?
Tests may include inductance, DCR, impedance, Q factor, self-resonant frequency, bias characterization, saturation testing, temperature rise, dimensions, coplanarity, solderability, terminal strength, and application validation.
Is tape-and-reel packaging available?
It may be available. Pocket dimensions, orientation, reel size, quantity, and label format must be confirmed.
Does it automatically comply with an IEC or UL standard?
No. It can be developed to support specified requirements, but certification or end-product compliance is not automatic.
What is the MOQ?
MOQ is confirmed according to materials, tooling, package size, customization, and tape-and-reel requirements.
What is the quotation and sample time?
Timing is confirmed after complete electrical, mechanical, assembly, qualification, and commercial requirements have been reviewed.
What warranty is available?
Warranty terms are confirmed according to application, PCB design, assembly process, operating conditions, validation status, and written agreement.
The 470 marking or SMD package does not by itself define a fixed inductance, tolerance, current, DCR, frequency, material, shielding, soldering, environmental, or thermal rating. Final performance is confirmed only through the approved specification, mechanical drawing, material system, test plan, PCB assembly conditions, and customer sample-validation process.
