• RoHS compliant manufacturing ensuring environmental safety standards

Fixed Inductors Applications

• High current inductor circuits
• General purpose filtering applications
• RF signal processing modules

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tolerance accuracy, as codes such as J, K, or M indicate different percentage variances. Ensure the selected variant matches the required circuit impedance and current handling capabilities. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations are strictly enforced for the final product assembly line.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 12 nH is required for high-frequency signal integrity. The 0603 package size offers space efficiency for dense PCB layouts. Consider the 130 mΩ DC resistance for power loss calculations and ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the system's thermal environment constraints.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series of wire-wound chip inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series provides fixed inductance values ranging from 1.6 nH to 390 nH. These components are engineered for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable passive magnetic elements in compact surface-mount formats.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 12 nH ±2% wire-wound inductors in the 0603 package with comparable DC resistance and current ratings. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same ceramic core construction and operating temperature limits to ensure functional equivalence.
