CT0603CTF-6N8H

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603CTF-6N8H is a fixed wire-wound chip inductor manufactured by Central Technologies, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a ceramic core and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component has a nominal inductance of 6.8 nH with a DC resistance of 80 mOhm. Its self-resonant frequency is specified at 4.5 GHz, supporting high-frequency circuit requirements.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable performance
• Surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly
• High self-resonant frequency capability for RF circuits

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF impedance matching networks
• EMI filtering in microwave circuits
• High-frequency signal processing

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code required for your design, as ordering specifications may necessitate indicating the desired tolerance variant. Confirm that the 80 mOhm DC resistance aligns with your power handling needs. Ensure the 4.5 GHz self-resonant frequency meets your operational bandwidth requirements before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-value inductance near 7 nH is required for high-frequency operation up to 4.5 GHz. The 80 mOhm DCR indicates suitability for moderate current levels. Consider the 0603 footprint constraints and verify compatibility with your PCB layout and reflow soldering profiles.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603CTF series of open wound wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from 1.6 nH to 390 nH, all sharing the same 0603 surface-mount package dimensions and general structural characteristics for consistent manufacturing and placement.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6.8 nH inductors in the 0603 package with comparable DCR and SRF. Verify that any replacement maintains the -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range and ceramic core construction to ensure equivalent RF performance.
