Fixed Inductors Applications

• High current inductor circuits
• RF circuit filtering
• General purpose signal conditioning

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix (e.g., J for ±5%) when ordering, as the series supports multiple codes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free finish (JESD-609 code e3) against current manufacturing standards. Ensure the 0603 footprint matches the PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low inductance values under 10 nH. The 0603 package size suits space-constrained designs. Consider the 1.2 A current rating and 45 mΩ DC resistance for power handling needs. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C meets environmental conditions.

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. These components are designed for surface-mount technology and are characterized by their ceramic core construction and small form factor suitable for modern electronics.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0603 package wire-wound inductors offering 3.3 nH ±5% tolerance. Verify compatibility regarding DC resistance, current rating, and physical dimensions. Check manufacturer datasheets for equivalent parts in the same series or from alternative suppliers.
