108-153KS

Overview

The Delevan 108-153KS is a fixed surface-mount RF inductor with an inductance of 15 µH and ±10% tolerance. It features a maximum DC resistance of 4.2 Ohms and a rated current of 79 mA. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, has a self-resonant frequency of 24 MHz, and utilizes an unshielded design with nonstandard two-lead SMD termination.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded construction for specific RF applications
• Surface mount package with nonstandard two-lead configuration
• High operating temperature capability up to 125°C

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• General RF choke applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as API Delevan assets were acquired by Pulse Electronics. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead material specifications against the latest official datasheet from the current rights holder to ensure regulatory adherence for your target market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an unshielded 15 µH inductor is required in a compact SMD form factor. Ensure the 79 mA current rating meets the circuit's continuous DC requirements. Consider the nonstandard footprint during PCB layout to guarantee proper solder joint formation and mechanical stability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Delevan 108 series of fixed RF inductors.
