0603CS-241EKTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0603CS-241EKTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor designed for high-frequency applications. It features an unshielded drum core and wirewound construction, housed in a standard 0603 (1608 metric) package with dimensions of 1.80mm x 1.16mm x 1.02mm. The component provides an inductance of 240 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. It supports a maximum DC current of 200 mA and exhibits a DC resistance of 1.7 Ohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and demonstrates a Q value of 16 at 250 MHz.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core wirewound design for minimal magnetic interference
• Compact 0603 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained layouts
• High-temperature stability rated up to 125°C operating limit

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF signal filtering circuits
• Impedance matching networks
• DC-DC converter output stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix EKTS against official Delta Electronics documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free compliance. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required 240 nH inductance and 200 mA current rating for your circuit design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS3 status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0603 form factor is required for low-inductance RF applications. The 240 nH value suits high-frequency filtering where precise impedance control is necessary. Consider the 1.7 Ohm DC resistance for power loss calculations in low-current paths. The unshielded nature requires careful PCB layout to prevent coupling with nearby traces. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 125°C maximum operating temperature.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0603CS series of fixed inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series offers various inductance values within the same physical envelope, allowing designers to maintain consistent board layouts across different product variants. The 0603CS line utilizes ceramic drum cores to achieve stable performance over wide frequency ranges.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603-sized 240 nH unshielded wirewound inductors from manufacturers such as Taiyo Yuden or Murata, provided they match the 200 mA current rating and 1.7 Ohm DCR specifications. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
