Power Inductors - Color Coding

You can also view an Adobe Acrobat version of this document.


Some Coilcraft surface mount power inductors are marked with 3 color dots. The table at right shows the significance of each color.

Dots 1 and 2 indicate the inductance in nanoHenries.

Dot 3 indicates the number of zeroes to be added.

Examples:
Yellow, Violet, Yellow = 470 µH
Brown, Green, Orange = 15 µH
Blue, Gray, Brown = 680 nH
