0402HS-3N3EKTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0402HS-3N3EKTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor with an inductance of 3.3 nH and a tolerance of ±10%. It features a drum core, wirewound construction using ceramic material and operates without shielding. The component has a DC resistance of 66 milliohms and a rated current of 840 mA. It exhibits a Q value of 24 at 250 MHz and a self-resonant frequency of 7.5 GHz. The package size is 0402 (1005 Metric), measuring 1.27mm x 0.76mm with a maximum height of 0.60mm. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Compact 0402 footprint designed for high-frequency applications
• Drum core wirewound construction for stable performance
• RoHS3 compliant and MSL Level 1 rated

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuit impedance matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering stages
• Power supply output chokes in compact designs

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm that the RoHS3 status aligns with your assembly requirements. Check for any lead time variations as standard delivery periods may change. Ensure storage conditions respect the MSL Level 1 rating to prevent moisture damage during soldering processes.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a very low inductance value is required in a minimal footprint. The 0402 case size suits dense PCB layouts where space is constrained. Consider the 840 mA current rating for power handling needs. The high self-resonant frequency makes it suitable for RF applications above typical VHF bands. Verify thermal management capabilities within the -40°C to 125°C operational range.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0402HS series from Delta Electronics/Components, which focuses on high-performance small-form-factor inductors. The series utilizes ceramic drum cores to achieve high Q factors and stability at elevated frequencies. This specific model represents the 3.3 nH variant within the broader product line, sharing common packaging and environmental characteristics with other values in the series.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 3.3 nH unshielded wirewound inductors from manufacturers like Abracon or Murata. Verify that alternative parts match the 66 milliohm DCR and 840 mA current rating. Ensure the replacement maintains similar self-resonant frequency characteristics for RF integrity.
