106-153J

Overview

The Delevan 106-153J is a fixed surface-mount inductor with an inductance of 15 µH and a tolerance of 5%. It features a maximum DC resistance of 5.2 Ohms and a rated current of 135 mA. The component utilizes a nonstandard package with two leads, designed for PCB mounting. As an unshielded RF inductor, it belongs to the SMD RF Inductors category.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded construction suitable for specific RF applications
• Surface-mount technology (SMT) design for automated assembly
• Two-lead configuration on a nonstandard footprint

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• General-purpose signal processing
• Power supply input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact physical dimensions against the official datasheet before integration, as the package is classified as nonstandard. Confirm that the 135 mA current rating meets the operational requirements of the target circuit. Ensure the supplier provides the original API Delevan documentation to validate RoHS compliance status and material specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 µH value with high DC resistance is required for low-current RF paths. The unshielded nature may necessitate careful layout planning to minimize electromagnetic interference with adjacent traces. Compare the 5.2 Ohm resistance against circuit loss budgets to ensure signal integrity is maintained within acceptable limits.

Part Context

This part is manufactured by API Delevan Inc., a specialist in passive components. It falls under the broader category of fixed inductors and chokes. The 106 series represents a specific line of unshielded chip inductors designed for general electronic applications requiring stable inductance values.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 15 µH unshielded SMD inductors from manufacturers such as Coilcraft or Bourns. Verify that replacement parts match the 135 mA current rating and 5.2 Ohm resistance to maintain circuit performance equivalence.
