• High self-resonant frequency suitable for RF applications

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuits
• General purpose filtering
• Signal processing

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm that the lead-free status aligns with project requirements, as availability may vary between compliant and non-compliant variants. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design standards.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0603 form factor is required for low-inductance RF applications. Ensure the operating current does not exceed the 850 mA rating to prevent saturation or thermal issues. Verify that the 600 MHz self-resonant frequency meets the circuit's operational bandwidth needs without interference from harmonic frequencies.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0603LSF series of SMD wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series provides various inductance values within the 0603 package size, catering to different RF and general-purpose filtering requirements. It is distinct from axial leaded or larger surface-mount variants offered by the manufacturer.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 560 nH inductance, 0603 package dimensions, and similar electrical characteristics such as DCR and current rating. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for verified alternative part numbers.
