CT0603CSF-6N3J

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603CSF-6N3J is a fixed wire-wound chip inductor manufactured by Central Technologies, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a ceramic core and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C. The component has a nominal inductance of 6.3 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. Key electrical specifications include a maximum rated current of 0.7 A, a DC resistance of 63 mΩ, and a minimum quality factor of 28 at the test frequency. It is RoHS compliant and contains no lead.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable inductance.
• Designed for high-current applications within the 0603 footprint.
• Compliant with RoHS standards for environmental safety.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• High-frequency signal filtering
• RF circuit impedance matching
• Power supply input/output filtering

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tolerance accuracy, as codes such as J indicate ±5% while others may differ. Ensure the procurement request explicitly states the required tolerance code to match design specifications. Confirm that the ceramic-core variant aligns with thermal and current requirements for the target application environment.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 6.3 nH is required in a compact 0603 package. Consider the 0.7 A current rating and 63 mΩ DC resistance for power handling capabilities. Verify compatibility with high-frequency operations up to 250 MHz where the quality factor remains sufficient for effective circuit performance.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series of wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series spans inductance values from 1.6 nH to 390 nH, offering various tolerance options including ±2%, ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%. These components are standardized for general-purpose use in surface-mount electronics requiring precise small-value inductance.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6.3 nH nominal inductance, ±5% tolerance, 0603 package size, and ceramic-core construction. Verify that alternative manufacturers provide equivalent current ratings and DC resistance values to ensure circuit continuity without modification.
