CT0603CSF-R27G

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603CSF-R27G is a surface-mount wire-wound chip inductor from Central Technologies, housed in a standard 0603 rectangular package. It features a ceramic core and provides a nominal inductance of 270 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 2.3 Ω and a self-resonant frequency of 900 MHz. It supports a maximum rated current of 170 mA and maintains a minimum quality factor of 24 at the test frequency. The device operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable inductance performance.
• Designed for surface-mount assembly in compact 0603 form factors.
• Provides high precision with a tight ±2% inductance tolerance.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• General purpose filtering applications
• High-frequency impedance matching networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix requirements when placing orders, as manufacturers may require explicit tolerance codes. Confirm that the requested part matches the exact electrical specifications and package dimensions required for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if lead-free components are mandated for your production environment.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring precise inductance values in space-constrained layouts. The low DC resistance and defined Q-factor make it suitable for efficient energy transfer in RF paths. Consider the 170 mA current limit to ensure reliable operation under peak load conditions without saturation or thermal issues.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CSF series of fixed inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from 1.6 nH to 390 nH, all sharing the same 0603 footprint. This specific model represents a mid-range inductance option within the family, balancing size constraints with functional performance.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 0603 ceramic core wire-wound inductors with 270 nH nominal value and ±2% tolerance. Verify that alternative parts match the 2.3 Ω DCR maximum and 900 MHz SRF to maintain circuit integrity. Check for identical operating temperature ranges and current ratings before integration.
