Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'H' corresponds to the required ±3% tolerance when placing orders. Confirm that the lead-free status aligns with project requirements, as datasheets may vary regarding RoHS compliance for this series. Ensure the package dimensions match the target PCB footprint before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring precise low-nanohenry inductance values with tight tolerances. The 80 mΩ DC resistance and 1.4 A current rating make it suitable for power-sensitive RF paths. Consider the 3.7 GHz self-resonant frequency limit to ensure operation remains below the resonant point for effective filtering.
