0402HC-3N6EDTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0402HC-3N6EDTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor with an inductance of 3.6 nH and a tolerance of ±0.5 nH. It features a drum core, wirewound construction using ceramic material. The component has a DC resistance of 40 mOhm and a rated current of 900 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The self-resonant frequency is 9.5 GHz, measured at a test frequency of 100 MHz. The package size is 0402 (1.10mm x 0.60mm), with a maximum height of 0.60 mm.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core wirewound design for high-frequency stability
• Ceramic core material supporting wide operating temperatures
• Compact 0402 surface mount footprint for dense PCB layouts

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-speed digital signal filtering
• Power supply input/output decoupling

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EDTS' against official Delta Electronics documentation to confirm lead time and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0402 components. Check RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer datasheet before integration into regulated products.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low inductance values are required for RF applications. The 3.6 nH value suits impedance matching circuits where parasitic effects must be minimized. Consider the 900 mA current rating for power integrity in low-voltage systems. The unshielded design may require careful layout to minimize EMI coupling.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HC series of high-current, high-frequency inductors from Delta Electronics. The series utilizes ceramic cores to maintain performance at elevated frequencies. Similar parts in the series include 0402HC-3N3EDTS and 0402HC-2N4ECTS, offering different inductance values while maintaining the same form factor and mounting style.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 3.6 nH 0402 unshielded inductors from manufacturers like Murata or TDK, provided they meet the 900 mA current and 40 mOhm DCR specifications. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before substitution.
