0603HP-3N6ECTS

Fixed Inductors Overview

The 0603HP-3N6ECTS is a fixed surface-mount inductor from Delta Electronics/Components, featuring a ceramic drum core and wirewound construction. It offers an inductance of 3.6 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. The component supports a rated current of 1.9 A and exhibits a DC resistance of 31 mΩ. It achieves a self-resonant frequency of 5.8 GHz and maintains a Q value of 22 at 250 MHz. Designed for high-frequency applications, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is available in a standard 0603 (1608 metric) package.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Wire-wound ceramic construction provides high self-resonant frequency performance above 6000 MHz.
• Unshielded design minimizes parasitic effects for high-frequency signal integrity.
• Robust thermal stability ensures reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-frequency filtering circuits
• Impedance matching in RF front-ends

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tolerance and packaging details, as variations exist within the series. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if required by your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise handling instructions regarding moisture sensitivity level 1. Confirm that the 0603 footprint aligns with your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low inductance values are required for VHF/UHF applications. The 1.9 A current rating suits moderate power levels, while the 31 mΩ DCR helps minimize insertion loss. Consider the unshielded nature for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided or managed through layout. Compare against similar 0603HP variants if different tolerance or current ratings are needed.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the 0603HP series of fixed inductors designed for high-frequency performance. It shares the same physical footprint and construction technology as other members of the family but differs in electrical specifications such as inductance value and current handling capabilities. The series is characterized by its ceramic drum core structure optimized for minimal parasitic inductance and capacitance.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 0603HP-3N6EKTS and 0603HP-3N6EDTS, which share identical electrical parameters but may differ in tolerance or packaging configuration. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions before substitution to ensure board compatibility.
