Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure the correct tolerance and packaging configuration. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with standard reel sizes or cut-tape availability. Cross-reference the date code and lot number upon receipt to ensure compliance with project timelines and storage requirements. Ensure all handling procedures adhere to electrostatic discharge precautions during installation.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18 µH inductance value is required in a compact 1206 footprint. Consider the low rated current of 5 mA, which limits suitability for high-power applications. Evaluate the 700 mΩ DC resistance impact on circuit efficiency. Compare self-resonant frequency characteristics against target operating bands to ensure adequate performance margins for the specific RF application.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the AIML series of shielded multilayer inductors manufactured by Abracon LLC. The series offers various inductance values across different package sizes, including 0603 and 1206 footprints. These components are engineered for space-constrained designs requiring reliable RF performance. The 1206 variant provides a balance between size and electrical characteristics compared to smaller packages.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 18 µH ±10% shielded multilayer inductors in the 1206 package with comparable current ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution. Alternative parts must meet the same RoHS compliance and operating temperature range specifications.
