Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm tolerance and packaging specifications. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee authenticity. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm compliance status and availability before finalizing purchase orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 24 nH inductance with tight ±2% tolerance is required. The low DCR of 330 mΩ supports efficient power handling. Consider the 0603 footprint constraints and the -40°C to 125°C operational range. Verify that the self-resonant frequency characteristics align with the target circuit's operating bandwidth requirements.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CTF series of wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from low nanohenry levels to higher capacities.
