Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'J' confirms the ±5% tolerance requirement for your circuit design. Ensure the 0402 footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Confirm that the 0.7 A current rating meets the peak load requirements of your application. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8.2 nH inductance value is required in a compact 0402 form factor. Consider the 0.135 Ω DC resistance for power loss calculations. The 0.7 A current rating allows for moderate current handling. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C aligns with your environmental conditions.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0402CSF series from Central Technologies, which offers fixed inductors ranging from low nanohenry values up to higher ranges. The series provides various tolerance options including ±2%, ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%. These components are designed for surface mount technology and are widely used in consumer electronics and communication devices.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 8.2 nH inductors in the 0402 package with similar current ratings. Equivalent parts from manufacturers such as Murata or TDK should be verified for matching impedance and Q-factor characteristics at the target frequency.
