103R-150KS

Overview

The Delevan 103R-150KS is an unshielded surface-mount RF inductor designed for high-frequency applications. It features a nominal inductance of 15 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 78 mΩ and supports a maximum DC current of 1.11 A. Key electrical specifications include a minimum Q factor of 45 and a self-resonant frequency of 1.335 GHz. The physical dimensions are standardized at 2.54 mm in length, 2.54 mm in width, and 1.91 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded chip construction optimized for RF signal integrity
• High self-resonant frequency capability for microwave range operations
• Standard SMD termination style for automated PCB assembly

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• Microwave module integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as API Delevan or Delevan during sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification against current regulatory requirements. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the specific reel packaging quantity required for production lines. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 807-103R-150KS to validate distributor inventory accuracy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low inductance values near 15 nH are required for high-frequency RF paths. The unshielded design necessitates careful layout consideration to minimize parasitic coupling. Verify that the operating frequency remains below the 1.335 GHz self-resonant point to maintain inductive behavior. Ensure the PCB footprint accommodates the 1010 metric package dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 103/R series of RF inductors manufactured by Delevan. The series provides various inductance values tailored for radio frequency and microwave circuits. The 103R-150KS specifically addresses the need for small form-factor inductors with high current handling capabilities relative to their size.
