Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix EKTS against official Delta Electronics documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard 0603 footprint dimensions (1.80mm x 1.16mm) during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by assembly regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 180 nH inductance is required for high-frequency operation up to 4 GHz. The 250 mA current rating suits low-power RF and signal processing circuits. Consider the unshielded nature for applications where magnetic coupling must be minimized or managed via layout. Verify that the 1.4 Ohm DC resistance aligns with power loss constraints in the target circuit design.
