CIH10T18NJNC

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Samsung Electro-Mechanics CIH10T18NJNC is a fixed multilayer ceramic inductor designed for surface-mount applications. It features an 18 nH nominal inductance with a tolerance of ±5%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 500 mA and exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 350 mΩ. Housed in a standard 0603 (1608 metric) package measuring 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8 mm, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes multilayer ceramic construction for stable electrical performance
• Provides unshielded design suitable for general circuit layouts
• Supports high-frequency operation with low parasitic effects

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication modules
• Impedance matching networks
• General-purpose DC-DC converter circuits

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix JNC against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm tolerance and packaging specifications. Ensure that the required operating temperature range aligns with the component's rated limits of -55°C to +125°C. Confirm availability status as obsolescence notices may affect long-term supply continuity for this series.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0603 footprint is required for 18 nH inductance. Evaluate the 500 mA current rating against peak load requirements to prevent saturation. Consider the unshielded nature of the device regarding potential electromagnetic interference coupling in dense PCB layouts compared to shielded alternatives.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CIH10T series of chip inductors manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The series focuses on providing reliable passive components for mobile and automotive electronics. The CIH10T designation indicates a specific line of multilayer ceramic inductors optimized for high-frequency applications.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 18 nH inductors from manufacturers such as Murata or TDK, provided they match the 500 mA current rating and 350 mΩ DCR. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
