0402HS-100EKTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The 0402HS-100EKTS 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 10 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. It supports a rated current of 480 mA and exhibits a DC resistance of 195 mΩ. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is RoHS3 compliant.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core construction for minimal parasitic effects
• Compact 0402 footprint suitable for high-density PCB layouts
• High current handling capability relative to package size
• RoHS3 compliant manufacturing process

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks requiring low inductance values
• Impedance matching circuits in wireless communication modules
• DC-DC converter input/output filtering
• Signal integrity conditioning in high-speed digital interfaces

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct packaging configuration, such as tape and reel or cut tape options. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profile for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a very low inductance value is required in a minimal footprint. Ensure the circuit current does not exceed the 480 mA rating to prevent saturation. Consider the unshielded nature of the drum core regarding potential electromagnetic interference coupling with nearby traces. Verify compatibility with standard surface-mount reflow processes.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HS series of high-frequency inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series utilizes wirewound technology on a drum core to achieve stable performance at RF frequencies. The 0402HS designation indicates the specific case size and series family, distinguishing it from shielded or higher-inductance variants within the broader product portfolio.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 package 10 nH inductors with similar current ratings and DCR specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer comparable performance but require validation of frequency response characteristics.
