0402HM-160EGTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0402HM-160EGTS is a fixed wirewound inductor with an inductance of 16 nH and a tolerance of ±2%. It features a ceramic drum core, operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, and has a DC resistance of 240 mΩ. The component supports a rated current of 370 mA, exhibits a Q value of 25 at 250 MHz, and reaches a self-resonant frequency of 4.5 GHz. It is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) surface-mount package.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a ceramic drum core for stable inductance characteristics
• Provides high-frequency performance with a 4.5 GHz self-resonant frequency
• Designed for surface-mount assembly in compact electronic circuits

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF signal processing circuits
• High-frequency filtering applications
• Impedance matching networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EGTS' to confirm the ±2% tolerance requirement, as other suffixes like 'EKTS' indicate different tolerances. Ensure the selected packaging format matches production needs, as options include tape and reel or cut tape. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by environmental regulations.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16 nH inductance with tight ±2% tolerance is required for RF designs. Consider the 370 mA current rating and 240 mΩ DCR for power loss calculations. The 0402 footprint suits space-constrained layouts, while the wide operating temperature range supports diverse environmental conditions.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HM series of unshielded wirewound inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series offers various inductance values in a standardized 0402 package, utilizing ceramic drum cores to maintain performance at high frequencies. These components are designed for general-purpose RF and high-speed digital applications requiring small form factors.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

The 0402HM-160EKTS serves as a substitute with identical electrical parameters but a ±10% tolerance instead of ±2%. Verify that the looser tolerance meets design requirements before substitution.
