Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix (J) matches the required circuit precision. Confirm that the 0402 footprint aligns with the PCB layout. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the final assembly. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if regulatory adherence is mandatory.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 3.3 nH is required in a compact 0402 form factor. Consider the 6 GHz self-resonant frequency limit for signal integrity. Evaluate the 0.33 ohm DC resistance against power loss constraints. Compare against ceramic chip inductors if higher Q-factor at similar frequencies is needed.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0402HPF series of SMD wire-wound chip inductors by Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values from 0.2 nH to 33 nH with tight tolerances. It is designed for high-frequency applications where small size and stability are critical.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0402 wire-wound inductors with 3.3 nH ±5% tolerance and similar SRF. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
