Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Pulse Electronics documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required electrical parameters, as variations may exist within the series. Check RoHS compliance status through official environmental reports. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements specified in the datasheet. Validate supplier authorization before procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 nH inductance is required in a compact SMD package for RF applications. Consider the 420 mA current rating and 230 mOhms DCR for power handling needs. The AEC-Q200 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments. Evaluate the 3.1 GHz self-resonant frequency to ensure it exceeds the operating frequency. Compare physical dimensions against PCB layout constraints.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the AWCS series of RF inductors manufactured by Pulse Electronics. These components are designed for high-frequency applications requiring small form factors. The series utilizes wire-wound technology on standard substrates. The AWCS line provides options for various inductance values within the 0402 package size.
