Unless this is a glorified ferrite bead, which wouldn't have the inductance and current capability for a switching power supply beefy enough to run a PIC, I have never seen inductor prices anywhere near that. What are the inductance and saturation current specs on this inductor? What is the real inductance and saturation current (at this price from China I expect the spec and actuality not to have much correlation)? Is there a web page that shows this in english with the price? Right. I didn't think so. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
