CT0603CSF-10NJ

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603CSF-10NJ is a general-purpose wirewound chip inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a ceramic core and a nominal inductance of 0.0095 µH (9.5 nH) with a tolerance of ±5%. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and has a maximum rated current of 0.7 A. Key electrical specifications include a DC resistance of 0.135 Ω, a minimum quality factor of 28 at the nominal inductance, and a self-resonant frequency of 1400 MHz. It is designed for surface-mount applications in the 0603 package.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Wirewound construction on a ceramic core for stable high-frequency performance
• Surface-mount design compatible with automated assembly processes
• RoHS compliant manufacturing ensuring environmental safety standards

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuit signal filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• High-current inductor applications

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify compliance status as datasheets indicate RoHS compliance, while other series variants may be lead-based. Confirm the specific tolerance code suffix matches project requirements, as the base part number requires explicit tolerance specification during ordering. Ensure the supplier provides official documentation from Central Technologies to validate the component's authenticity and technical parameters against the standard specifications.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low inductance values near 10 nH with moderate current handling capabilities up to 0.7 A. The 0603 footprint suits space-constrained layouts. Consider the self-resonant frequency limit when designing for frequencies approaching 1400 MHz. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +125°C range to maintain performance integrity.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series of wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from 1.6 nH to 390 nH. The 'CSF' designation typically indicates a RoHS-compliant variant with specific termination characteristics compared to the non-compliant CS series.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0603 package, ~10 nH inductance, and similar current ratings. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 0603 wirewound inductors offering ±5% tolerance and comparable DC resistance.
