15M101K

Overview

The 15M101K is a fixed RF inductor manufactured by Gowanda Electronics. It features an axial leaded package with unshielded molded construction. The component provides an inductance of 1 µH, measured at a test frequency of 7.9 MHz. It supports a DC current rating of 830 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 290 mOhm. The self-resonant frequency is specified at 200 MHz. The operating temperature range extends from -55°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded molded axial construction for through-hole mounting
• High self-resonant frequency capability suitable for RF applications
• Wide operating temperature range for environmental stability

Applications

• Aerospace electronic systems
• Defense circuitry
• Medical equipment components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., K vs J) against official Gowanda documentation to confirm tolerance and exact electrical characteristics. Ensure the axial package style matches the target PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the unshielded design does not interfere with adjacent sensitive RF traces in the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 µH inductance value is required with high current handling capabilities up to 830 mA. The axial form factor is appropriate for boards designed for through-hole technology. Consider the unshielded nature of the coil when planning layout spacing to minimize electromagnetic interference with nearby components.
