It exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 50 mΩ and supports a maximum rated current of 0.7 A. The device is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable high-frequency performance
• Surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly processes
• Lead-free and RoHS compliant manufacturing standards

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuits requiring low inductance values
• High-frequency signal filtering
• Impedance matching networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix 'H' corresponds to ±2% when ordering, as this defines the electrical precision. Confirm that the ceramic-core wire-wound construction aligns with the target frequency requirements. Ensure the 0.7 A current rating and 50 mΩ DC resistance meet the circuit's power handling needs. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding precise low-nanohenry inductance with tight tolerances. The ceramic core offers stability compared to iron powder alternatives at high frequencies. Consider the 0.7 A current limit and low DC resistance for efficiency. The 0603 footprint allows for compact board designs where space is constrained.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CTF series of wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series covers a wide inductance range from 1.6 nH to 390 nH. The CT0603CTF-5N6H represents the lower end of this spectrum, optimized for very high-frequency operations where minimal inductance is critical.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 0603 ceramic-core wire-wound inductors with 5.6 nH nominal value and ±2% tolerance. Verify that alternative parts match the 50 mΩ max DC resistance and 0.7 A current rating. Ensure the replacement maintains the same operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status.
