Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code when ordering to confirm tolerance; 'N' indicates ±2% tolerance. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-free variants exist within the series. Ensure the operating temperature range meets system requirements. Check datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances relative to the 0603 package footprint.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this part for applications demanding low inductance (11 nH) with tight tolerance precision. Consider the 0.18 Ω DC resistance for power loss calculations. The 0.7 A current rating suits moderate current loads. Verify that the 2 GHz self-resonant frequency aligns with the target signal bandwidth.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This component belongs to the CT0603CTF series of wire-wound chip inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from 1.6 nH to 390 nH in a compact 0603 package. These inductors are characterized by their ceramic core construction and suitability for high-current general-purpose applications.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include CT0603CTF-1N6G, CT0603CTF-2N2J, and CT0603CTF-3N3J, depending on required inductance adjustments. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 0603 footprint, 11 nH nominal value, ±2% tolerance, and similar current ratings.
