CT0201F-5N1S

Overview

The CT0201F-5N1S is a fixed multilayer inductor manufactured by Central Technologies, designed for surface-mount applications. It features an inductance of 5.1 nH with a tolerance of ±0.3 nH. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 330 mΩ and a rated current of 0.2 A. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C and exhibits a self-resonant frequency of 8 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Multilayer construction optimized for high-frequency RF signal integrity
• Ultra-small 0201 footprint enabling dense circuit board layouts
• Precision inductance tolerance ensuring consistent electrical performance

Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-speed digital signal filtering
• Impedance matching circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' indicates the ±0.3 nH tolerance variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as datasheets may vary by production batch. Ensure the selected supplier provides traceability documentation for the Central Technologies manufacturing origin.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring minimal parasitic effects at frequencies near 8 GHz. The low DCR supports efficient power handling up to 0.2 A. Evaluate thermal constraints against the 85 °C upper limit during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0201F series of chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values tailored for RF and general-purpose applications. The 0201 package size represents one of the smallest standard form factors available for axial or radial leaded alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0201 multilayer inductors with 5.1 nH nominal value and similar Q-factor characteristics. Verify that alternative components match the 330 mΩ DCR and 0.2 A current rating to maintain circuit performance.
