CT0201CSF-1N5J

Overview

The CT0201CSF-1N5J is a fixed wire-wound chip inductor manufactured by Central Technologies, housed in a compact 0201 surface-mount package. It features a ceramic core and provides a nominal inductance of 0.5 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 90 mΩ and supports a rated current of 600 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and offers a self-resonant frequency of 17 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable high-frequency performance
• Designed for high-speed signal integrity applications with minimal parasitic effects
• Supports high current density suitable for power delivery networks

Applications

• RF circuit impedance matching networks
• High-speed digital signal line filtering
• Power supply decoupling in compact mobile devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tolerance accuracy, as variations exist within the series. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states compliance with RoHS standards and confirms the lead-free terminal finish. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate that the supplied units match the specified electrical parameters and physical dimensions for the 0201 footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an ultra-small 0201 footprint alongside high-frequency operation up to 17 GHz. It is appropriate for designs needing low inductance values with tight tolerance requirements. Consider the 600 mA current rating to ensure adequate headroom for the target application's power stage without saturation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0201CSF series of general-purpose wire-wound inductors from Central Technologies. The series covers a wide range of inductance values from 0.5 nH to higher ranges, all sharing the same compact 0201 SMD form factor. These components are engineered for use in modern consumer electronics where board real estate is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0201 ceramic-core wire-wound inductors with 0.5 nH nominal value and ±5% tolerance. Verify that alternative parts maintain equivalent self-resonant frequencies and current ratings to prevent performance degradation in RF or high-speed digital circuits.
