CT0201F-10NJ

Overview

The CT0201F-10NJ is a thin film chip inductor manufactured by Central Technologies, designed for surface-mount applications. It features an inductance of 10 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a maximum DC resistance of 0.3 ohms. It utilizes a 0201 package size, making it suitable for high-frequency circuits requiring compact passive components.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for stable performance
• Compact 0201 surface-mount footprint
• High self-resonant frequency capability

Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering
• Impedance matching circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'J' indicates ±5% tolerance and 'N' denotes nano-Henry units per Central Technologies naming conventions. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets or manufacturer declarations prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity levels specified in the product documentation to maintain reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring precise low-inductance values in minimal space. Consider the Q-factor at operating frequencies to ensure efficiency in RF paths. Compare DCR limits against current requirements to prevent thermal issues. Validate that the 0201 package fits the PCB layout constraints and soldering capabilities of the assembly process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0201F series of thin film inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values optimized for high-frequency applications. Thin film technology provides better stability and tighter tolerances compared to wire-wound alternatives in small packages.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the CT0201F series with identical inductance and tolerance. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters such as DCR and rated current when considering alternative manufacturers.
