10M180JLF

Overview

The 10M180JLF is an unshielded molded axial lead inductor from Gowanda Electronics, designed for general-purpose RF applications. It features a nominal inductance of 180 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 1.105 A and exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 120 mΩ. Constructed with a powdered iron core, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The device is RoHS compliant and utilizes a standard axial package configuration suitable for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded molded construction for general-purpose RF use
• Powdered iron core material for stable performance
• Axial lead configuration for through-hole integration

Applications

• RF coil circuits
• General-purpose filtering
• High-frequency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' confirms lead-free compliance against project requirements. Confirm that the unshielded design does not introduce unacceptable interference in sensitive layouts. Ensure the axial form factor matches the PCB footprint constraints. Validate that the 1.105 A current rating meets the peak load demands of the target circuit application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 180 nH is required for high-frequency operation. The unshielded nature makes it suitable for applications where magnetic field containment is not critical. Consider the axial package if surface-mount options are unavailable or if mechanical stability via leads is preferred. The powdered iron core offers a balance of cost and performance for non-critical RF stages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 10M series of standard RF inductors manufactured by Gowanda Electronics. The series provides various inductance values ranging from 0.1 µH to higher ranges, all sharing similar axial molding characteristics. These components are widely used in aerospace, defense, and medical industries requiring reliable passive magnetic elements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 180 nH axial inductors with comparable current ratings and tolerance levels. Cross-reference with other Gowanda 10M series variants if slight inductance adjustments are permissible. Verify core material compatibility to ensure similar saturation characteristics.
