CT0201CSF-6N8J

Overview

The CT0201CSF-6N8J is a surface-mount ceramic core wire-wound inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 6.8 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component is designed for high-frequency applications, offering low DC resistance and high self-resonant frequency characteristics typical of the CSF series. It complies with RoHS standards and is lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Ceramic core construction for stable performance
• Wire-wound design optimized for RF circuits
• RoHS compliant and lead-free manufacturing

Applications

• RF filter networks
• Impedance matching circuits
• High-frequency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the CT0201CSF-6N8J to confirm exact electrical parameters such as DC resistance and self-resonant frequency, as these values can vary slightly between production batches or document revisions. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise, low-value inductance in minimal space. The 0201 package size suits dense PCB layouts. Consider the self-resonant frequency limits when designing for frequencies approaching the component's resonance point to ensure effective filtering or matching.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0201CSF series of fixed inductors from Central Technologies. The series utilizes a ceramic core and wire-winding technique to achieve high Q-factors at high frequencies. It is distinct from the HQF (multi-layer) and TF (general purpose) series offered by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0201 package, 6.8 nH, ±5% tolerance inductors from Central Technologies or other manufacturers. Verify that substitute parts match the physical footprint and electrical characteristics, particularly self-resonant frequency and current handling capabilities.
