0402HM-5N1EKTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0402HM-5N1EKTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor with an inductance of 5.1 nH and a tolerance of ±2%. It features a drum core, wirewound construction using ceramic material. The component has a DC resistance (DCR) of 120 mOhm and a rated current of 600 mA. Its self-resonant frequency is 8 GHz, tested at 250 MHz. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The package size is 0402 (1005 Metric), measuring 1.15mm x 0.70mm x 0.60mm.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core wirewound design for high-frequency performance
• High self-resonant frequency of 8 GHz suitable for RF applications
• Compact 0402 surface mount footprint for space-constrained PCBs

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• High-speed signal line chokes

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as some listings associate this part number with Cyntec rather than Delta Electronics/Components. Confirm the specific suffix 'K' indicates the required tolerance and packaging format. Ensure the DCR and current ratings align with your circuit requirements before ordering.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a very low inductance value near 5 nH is required for high-frequency stability. The 600 mA current rating and 120 mOhm DCR define its power handling capabilities. Compare against the 0402HP series if higher current capacity or different DCR characteristics are needed for the same form factor.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HM series of unshielded power inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. It shares the 0402 footprint with other variants like 0402HM-470EKTS but differs in inductance and electrical parameters. The series is designed for SMD mounting on printed circuit boards.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

The 0402HM-5N1EDTS is a documented variant with similar specifications. Cross-reference with 0402HP-5N1EKTS if higher current handling is acceptable, noting potential differences in DCR and manufacturer origin.
