Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lead-free status and RoHS compliance requirements against current project specifications, as datasheet records may vary regarding environmental certifications. Confirm the exact operating temperature limits and DC resistance values match the circuit design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance, high-precision (±5%) surface-mount solution is required for RF or general-purpose filtering. Ensure the 0402 footprint fits the PCB layout and that the 0.12 µH value aligns with the target frequency response. Consider the ceramic core material properties for thermal stability in the intended application environment.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0402CSF series of fixed inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from 0.01 µH to higher capacities, all sharing the same 0402 package dimensions. The 'R12J' suffix specifically denotes the 0.12 µH value and ±5% tolerance variant within this product line.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 package, 0.12 µH, ±5% tolerance wire-wound inductors with similar current ratings and DC resistance. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when cross-referencing with alternative manufacturers' components.
