0402HM-6N8EKTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The 0402HM-6N8EKTS is a fixed wirewound inductor from Delta Electronics/Components, housed in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) surface-mount package. It features an unshielded drum core design with a ceramic magnetic core material. The component provides an inductance of 6.8 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. It supports a rated current of 700 mA and exhibits a DC resistance of 90 mΩ. Electrical performance includes a Q value of 25 at 250 MHz and a self-resonant frequency of 6 GHz. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a drum core wirewound construction for stable low-inductance performance
• Features an unshielded design suitable for applications where magnetic interference is not critical
• Constructed with a ceramic core material to support high-frequency operation

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks requiring precise low inductance values
• DC-DC converter input/output filtering circuits
• High-speed digital signal line termination or decoupling

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EKTS' against official datasheets to confirm tolerance and packaging specifications, as variations exist within the 0402HM series. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0402 packages. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor codes to avoid ordering errors due to similar series naming conventions.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a small footprint is required alongside low inductance values below 10 nH. Consider the 700 mA current rating to ensure adequate margin for peak load conditions. The unshielded nature requires layout consideration to minimize coupling with nearby traces. Compare self-resonant frequency limits against target operating frequencies to maintain inductive behavior.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HM series of fixed inductors designed for high-frequency applications. The series offers various inductance values in the same 0402 package, allowing designers to scale components while maintaining consistent board space utilization. Delta Electronics/Components manufactures these components using ceramic core technology to achieve stability across wide temperature ranges.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 package inductors with 6.8 nH nominal value, such as those from Murata or TDK, provided they meet the 700 mA current and 90 mΩ DCR requirements. Verify that replacement parts share the same unshielded drum core characteristics to preserve RF performance and thermal behavior.
