Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EKTS' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required 280 nH inductance value and 150 mA current rating for the intended application circuit design.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when an unshielded inductor is required to minimize magnetic interference with nearby components. Consider the 2.4 Ohm DC resistance impact on power efficiency and verify that the 150 mA current rating exceeds the maximum expected load current in the target circuit to prevent saturation or overheating.
