Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to ensure correct tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status prior to integration. Check moisture sensitivity level classifications for proper handling during storage and reflow processes. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment given the 0402 package dimensions.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when precise low-nanohenry inductance is required for high-frequency signal paths. Consider the 700 mA current rating and 90 mΩ DCR for power loss calculations. Evaluate the 6 GHz self-resonant frequency limit to ensure operation remains below the resonance point. Verify that the unshielded design does not cause electromagnetic interference in dense layouts.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HM series of fixed inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series provides various inductance values in a standardized 0402 package. These components are designed for general-purpose high-frequency applications requiring small form factors and consistent electrical characteristics across production batches.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure replacement parts match the 6.8 nH nominal value, 0402 package size, and similar current ratings. Verify that alternative components maintain comparable self-resonant frequencies and DC resistance values to preserve circuit performance.
