Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging configuration, as availability may vary between tape-and-reel and cut-strip formats. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements for your assembly process. Since this is a passive component, ensure that the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for any recent product change notifications or end-of-life announcements from Samsung Electro-Mechanics before finalizing procurement plans.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 10 nH is required for high-frequency circuit tuning. The 0201 package size is ideal for space-constrained designs. Ensure the application current does not exceed 170 mA to prevent saturation or thermal issues. Consider the unshielded nature of the part if electromagnetic interference isolation is critical for adjacent components.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This inductor belongs to the CIH03Q series of chip inductors manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The series focuses on providing reliable passive components for modern electronic devices. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is a global leader in developing core electronic parts, including MLCCs and power inductors, supporting industries such as mobile communications and automotive electronics.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

The TDK MLG0603S18NJT000 is listed as a direct substitute. Verify that the 18 nH inductance value of the replacement matches the design requirements, as it differs from the original 10 nH specification. Ensure the package dimensions and DCR limits are compatible with the existing circuit layout.
