15M332J

Overview

The Gowanda Electronics 15M332J is a fixed axial leaded inductor featuring an unshielded molded construction with an iron powder core. It provides a nominal inductance of 33 µH and supports a maximum current rating of 165 mA. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 3 Ohms and maintains a minimum Q factor of 65 at a test frequency of 2.5 MHz. Designed for commercial off-the-shelf applications, it offers a tolerance of ±20% and operates within standard environmental conditions suitable for general RF circuit integration.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded molded design utilizing iron powder core material
• Axial lead configuration for through-hole mounting
• High Q factor performance at specified RF test frequencies

Applications

• Commercial off-the-shelf electronic assemblies
• Radio frequency signal processing circuits
• General purpose filtering and impedance matching networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Gowanda documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required axial lead spacing and physical dimensions for the target PCB layout. Confirm that the unshielded nature of the component does not interfere with adjacent sensitive circuitry during system integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an unshielded axial inductor is required for cost-sensitive commercial applications. The iron powder core offers stability suitable for general RF use, while the 165 mA current rating defines the operational limits. Consider the lack of shielding when designing layouts to prevent electromagnetic interference with nearby components or traces.
