15M181KLF

Overview

The 15M181KLF is a fixed axial lead inductor from Gowanda Electronics, featuring a molded unshielded construction. It provides an inductance of 1.8 µH with a tolerance of ±10%. The component has a maximum rated current of 525 mA and a DC resistance of 650 mΩ. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Molded unshielded design for general-purpose RF applications
• Axial lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• High-temperature operation capability up to 125°C

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• General purpose inductive applications
• Through-hole PCB assembly

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free compliance when sourcing. Confirm that the axial package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 525 mA current rating meets the system's peak load demands without saturation. Check RoHS status against project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 1.8 µH value in an axial form factor. Consider the unshielded nature for potential EMI sensitivity in dense layouts. Evaluate the 650 mΩ DCR impact on power loss. Compare against shielded alternatives if magnetic interference is a concern in the operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 15M series of molded unshielded RF coils manufactured by Gowanda Electronics. The series offers various inductance values in an axial package, suitable for standard through-hole manufacturing processes. It is designed for reliable performance in electronic circuits requiring fixed inductance.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other Gowanda 15M series variants or generic axial inductors matching the 1.8 µH, 525 mA, and 650 mΩ specifications if necessary.
