15M470K

Overview

The Gowanda Electronics 15M470K is a fixed axial leaded inductor from the 15M series, designed for RF applications. It features an unshielded molded construction with a nominal inductance of 470 nH and a tolerance of ±10%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 1.225 A and exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 120 mOhm. Physical dimensions are 9.525 mm length by 3.962 mm diameter, weighing 0.65 grams.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded molded design suitable for specific RF environments
• Axial through-hole mounting configuration
• High current handling capability relative to size

Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• Broadband power applications
• General purpose inductive components in aerospace or defense systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix requirements against the official Gowanda datasheet, as variations such as LF (Lead-Free) may exist. Confirm that the unshielded variant meets the electromagnetic interference constraints of the target system. Ensure the axial lead form factor is compatible with the printed circuit board layout and assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an unshielded axial inductor is required for RF signal processing. The 1.225 A current rating must be validated against the peak operating currents of the application. Consider the physical footprint of 9.525 x 3.962 mm during mechanical integration. The lack of shielding necessitates careful placement to avoid coupling with sensitive traces.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Gowanda 15M series of molded RF coils. The manufacturer specializes in high-performance magnetic components for critical sectors including aerospace, defense, and medical imaging. The company maintains ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications and offers both standard and custom designs for demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Gowanda 15M series variants like 15M471J for different inductance values. Verify compatibility with generic axial RF coils only if electrical parameters and physical dimensions match exactly. Consult Gowanda engineering for direct replacements to ensure material and performance consistency.
