• Designed specifically for high-current circuit applications
• Supports surface-mount technology in a compact 0603 package

Fixed Inductors Applications

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

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' corresponds to the required ±2% tolerance when ordering, as other suffixes like 'J' or 'K' indicate different tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status if lead-free requirements are strict. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +125°C range to maintain electrical characteristics. Cross-reference the 170 mΩ DCR limit against circuit power dissipation needs.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a very low inductance value near 5.6 nH is required for high-frequency or RF applications. The 0.7 A current rating makes it suitable for power stages where space is limited. Compare the 170 mΩ resistance against parallel paths to manage heat generation. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the standard 0603 dimensions for proper mounting.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series of wire-wound chip inductors. The series offers values ranging from 1.6 nH to 390 nH. Different suffixes define the tolerance, such as G for ±2%, J for ±5%, K for ±10%, and M for ±20%. All parts in this series share the same 0603 package and ceramic core construction.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 5.6 nH inductance, 0603 package, and similar current handling capabilities. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer comparable DC resistance and Q-factor at the target frequency. Ensure the replacement part supports the same operating temperature range.
