108R-153KS

Overview

The Delevan 108R-153KS is a fixed inductor with an inductance of 15 µH and a tolerance of ±10%. It features a maximum DC current rating of 79 mA and a maximum DC resistance of 4.2 Ohms. The component utilizes a nonstandard, two-lead surface mount package without leads. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded construction for standard RF applications
• Fixed inductance value suitable for filtering circuits
• Surface mount termination style for PCB integration

Applications

• RF choke circuits
• Power supply filtering
• General electronic signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources reference both API Delevan Inc. and Delevan. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Ensure the nonstandard lead configuration matches the target PCB footprint design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 µH unshielded inductor is required with a 79 mA current limit. The 4.2 Ohm DC resistance impacts circuit efficiency; verify thermal performance at operating currents. The nonstandard package requires custom layout considerations compared to standard SMD footprints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Delevan fixed inductor family, designed for surface mount technology. It serves as a passive component for energy storage and noise suppression in electronic systems, distinct from shielded or high-current variants within the broader product catalog.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 15 µH unshielded SMD inductors having similar current ratings. Verify package dimensions carefully due to the nonstandard lead configuration. Check DC resistance values to ensure equivalent power loss characteristics.
