Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EKTS' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm tolerance and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and check RoHS3 compliance status prior to integration into production assemblies.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance, unshielded solution is required for frequencies near 2.32 GHz. Consider the 680 mA current rating and 83 mΩ DCR for power loss calculations. Compare against the 0402HM series if tighter tolerances or higher self-resonant frequencies are necessary for the target circuit design.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the Delta Electronics 0402HS series, designed specifically for high-frequency applications requiring small form factors. The HS designation typically indicates high-self-resonant characteristics within the product family, distinguishing it from standard general-purpose inductors.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0402HS series variants such as 0402HS-2N0EKTS or 0402HS-360EKTS for different inductance values. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
