15M331KLF

Overview

The 15M331KLF is a fixed axial lead inductor manufactured by Gowanda Electronics. It features a nominal inductance of 330 µH with a tolerance of ±10%. The component utilizes an iron-ferrite core and is housed in a cylindrical molded package. It has a maximum DC current rating of 260 mA and a maximum DC resistance of 3 Ohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C.

Feature Summary

• Axial lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• Iron-ferrite core construction
• Molded cylindrical housing

Applications

• RF circuits
• General purpose filtering
• Power supply chokes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free plating or compliance status against the manufacturer's current datasheet, as Gowanda offers both leaded and lead-free options. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements for the target assembly. Ensure the axial lead spacing matches the PCB footprint design before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 330 µH inductance value is required for RF or general-purpose applications. Consider the 260 mA current limit and 3 Ohm DC resistance for circuit impedance calculations. The molded construction provides environmental protection suitable for industrial and aerospace environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to Gowanda's standard RF inductor series, designed for high-reliability applications in aerospace, defense, and medical sectors. The company specializes in custom and standard magnetic components, offering both shielded and unshielded variants across various core materials and package styles.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Gowanda models in the same series for different inductance values. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters against alternative suppliers' axial inductors if sourcing from non-Gowanda manufacturers.
