Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as this component appears under both Delta Electronics/Components and Cyntec branding across different distribution channels. Confirm the specific datasheet version matches the required electrical parameters, particularly the DC resistance and current rating, before finalizing procurement orders to ensure compatibility with system requirements.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when an unshielded inductor is acceptable for the target application, as it lacks electromagnetic shielding. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to 125°C range. Verify that the 100 mA current rating meets the circuit's load requirements and that the 3.8 Ohm DC resistance does not cause excessive voltage drop or power loss in the signal path.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0603CS series of ceramic RF inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series offers various inductance values ranging from 1.5 nH to 470 nH. These components are designed for high-frequency applications requiring stable performance. The 0603CS series utilizes a drum core structure suitable for general-purpose RF and signal conditioning tasks.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

The 0603CS-3N3EGTS is a listed substitute within the same product family, offering similar physical dimensions and construction but differing significantly in inductance value and current rating.
