Electronic – Help me identify a component from EAGLE schematic

componentseagleschematics

Can you help me identify the "L1" component in this schematic? It reads 33R@100MHz and is defined as an INDUCTOR. Maybe I'm reading it wrong (count on it), but I don't know how to deal with the @100MHz tag – resistors/inductors don't have a MHz as far as I know?

The closest I can get is a RC0603FR-0733RL (link: http://export.farnell.com/yageo-phycomp/rc0603fr-0733rl/resistor-rc22h-0603-33r/dp/9238301), but that's a resistor.

Line from EAGLE BOM:
L1 33R@100MHz L-EUL2012C L2012C INDUCTOR, European symbol

Thanks a lot

What you see here, is not an exact specification of a component. It is more an indication to select a component.

It reads: The (complex) impedance of this inductor shall be 33 Ohms at 100 MHz. You have to select an appropriate inductor. Z = jωL is the formula to use.

You should take care of some more things. As this seems to be a power line for an USB port, the inductor should bear a continuous DC current of at least 500 mA without giving smoke signals. As many devices draw more than that, better go for 1 A. To keep losses low, the real part of the Impedance (i.e. ohmic resistance) must be below 100 mΩ I guess. This is called the series resistance in the data sheets.
