Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell this value apart from other CDRH127 inductors?
By the top stamp. Every value in the line shares the square body, and this one reads 120 for 12 µH.
Which way round does it mount?
Either way. A single-winding inductor has no polarity, so the two terminals are interchangeable on their pads.
More pieces cost less each - the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs.
A drum core is a spool with the winding wrapped around its waist and the shield closed around it like a sleeve, so from the top the coil never shows. Turn it over and the copper peeking out at the notched corners is your last look at the winding before it goes down on the pads.
