• Utilizes surface mount technology for automated assembly
• Provides stable inductance characteristics

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• Signal processing stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm active status, as related variants like 'K' are marked obsolete. Ensure the nonstandard package dimensions align with the PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 µH value with tight 2% tolerance is required for RF environments. Consider the 4.2 Ohm DC resistance limit for current handling capabilities. Verify that the 24 MHz self-resonant frequency meets the operational bandwidth needs of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the API Delevan fixed inductor family, which specializes in components for high-frequency electronics. The 108R series typically addresses niche RF design requirements where standard packages may not suffice, offering specialized electrical performance for sensitive signal paths.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes from API Delevan or other manufacturers offering identical 15 µH values with comparable Q factors and self-resonant frequencies. Ensure any replacement matches the SMD termination style and physical envelope constraints.
