0402HM-3N0ECTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The 0402HM-3N0ECTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor from Delta Electronics/Components, designed for high-frequency applications. It features an unshielded drum core wirewound construction with a ceramic magnetic core. The component offers an inductance of 3 nH with a tolerance of ±0.2nH and a self-resonant frequency of 10GHz. It supports a rated current of 750 mA and exhibits a DC resistance of 70 mOhm. The Q factor is specified as 25 at 250MHz. Measuring 1.15mm x 0.70mm x 0.60mm in a 0402 package, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core wirewound design for minimal interference
• High self-resonant frequency capability up to 10GHz
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint for dense PCB layouts

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-speed digital signal lines
• Impedance matching circuits

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ECTS against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm tape and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles given the ceramic core material. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status for your region's regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low inductance values near 3 nH are required for RF or high-speed interfaces. The unshielded nature necessitates careful layout consideration to prevent crosstalk. Compare DCR and Q factor requirements against similar series parts like 0402HC if higher current handling is needed.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HM series of fixed inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series focuses on providing stable performance for high-frequency applications using ceramic cores. It complements other variants in the lineup that offer different inductance values and current ratings within the same compact form factor.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as 0402HM-3N0EDTS, which shares identical electrical parameters but differs in tolerance specification. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics match the existing design constraints before substitution.
