0805CT-6N8EKTS

Overview

The Delta Electronics/Components 0805CT-6N8EKTS is a fixed wirewound inductor with a ceramic drum core, designed for surface mount applications. It features an inductance of 6.8 nH and a tolerance of ±10%. The component supports a rated current of 800 mA and exhibits a DC resistance of 80 mΩ. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a Q value of 50 at 1 GHz and a self-resonant frequency of 5.5 GHz. The unit is housed in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a ceramic drum core construction for stable performance
• Provides high-frequency operation with a 5.5 GHz self-resonant frequency
• Supports surface mount installation in standard 0805 footprints

Applications

• RF circuit impedance matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering stages
• Power supply decoupling in RF modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EKTS to confirm the ±10% tolerance rating, as other suffixes may indicate different tolerances or packaging options. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 compliance requirements for your assembly process. Confirm that the 800 mA current rating meets the thermal constraints of your final design environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low inductance value near 7 nH is required for high-speed signal paths. The 0805 package offers a balance between size and power handling compared to smaller footprints. Consider the 80 mΩ DCR impact on efficiency if used in series with low-impedance lines. Verify that the operating temperature range suits the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 0805CT series of fixed inductors from Delta Electronics/Components. The series provides various inductance values optimized for RF and microwave applications. The 0805 form factor allows for automated placement in high-volume manufacturing processes while maintaining reliable electrical performance in compact electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

The 0805CT-6N8EJTS is a confirmed substitute offering identical electrical specifications but with a tighter ±5% tolerance. Both parts share the same physical dimensions and mounting type, allowing for direct footprint replacement without layout changes.
