Okay I think I ordered the wrong part from mouser. The schematics calls for a 15uH inductor. I have a 15uH choke. Will this work?

A 15uH choke IS a 15uH inductor..?

This has thrown me as well
Is choke the old term? Or is there actually a difference?

My guess is that a choke chokes by being inductive.. But it may just be different names for the same thing..
In any case, it's the same..

yeah, a choke is an inductor.
They call them chokes because they 'choke' off RF interference, by being inherently a Low Pass Filter, in much the same way that a capacitor blocks DC by being an inherent High Pass Filter.

Its not just RF. They call them chokes in Valve PSU`s because they "choke" the ripple in them as well.
