CT0603CSF-8N2J

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603CSF-8N2J is a general-purpose wire-wound chip inductor from Central Technologies, housed in a standard 0603 surface-mount package. It features a ceramic core and provides an inductance of 8.2 nH with a tolerance of ±5%. The component has a maximum rated current of 0.7 A and a DC resistance of 110 mΩ. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C and meets RoHS compliance standards.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable high-frequency performance
• Compact 0603 surface-mount footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• RoHS compliant and lead-free manufacturing process

Fixed Inductors Applications

• High current inductor circuits
• General purpose RF filtering applications
• Signal integrity management in compact electronics

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code suffix (e.g., J for ±5%) when ordering, as the base series supports multiple tolerances including G, K, and M. Confirm that the 0603 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40 °C to 125 °C range to maintain component reliability and electrical characteristics.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low inductance values in a small form factor. The 8.2 nH value is suitable for high-frequency signal paths where minimal impedance is needed. Consider the 0.7 A current rating to ensure it meets the peak current demands of the circuit without saturation. The ceramic core offers advantages over iron powder cores in terms of Q-factor stability at higher frequencies.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series, which covers a wide inductance range from 1.6 nH to 390 nH. The series utilizes wire-wound technology on ceramic cores, designed for general-purpose use in modern electronic assemblies. The 0603 package size allows for automated placement and is widely supported by standard SMD assembly processes.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 8.2 nH ±5% inductors in the 0603 package with similar DC resistance and current ratings. Verify that any replacement maintains the same ceramic core construction to preserve high-frequency performance characteristics.
