CT0603QWF-10NG

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0603QWF-10NG is a fixed wire-wound chip inductor from 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 10 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. Key electrical parameters include a DC resistance of 0.13 Ω, a minimum quality factor of 38 at the test frequency, and a maximum rated current of 0.7 A. The self-resonant frequency is specified at 6 GHz, ensuring stable inductive behavior up to this limit.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• General-purpose inductive components in compact electronic devices

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code 'G' corresponds to ±2% when ordering, as suffixes define performance limits. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions maintain component integrity given the ceramic core material properties.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise low-nanohenry inductance with tight tolerance. The 6 GHz self-resonant frequency makes it suitable for high-frequency circuits where parasitic effects must be minimized. Verify that the 0.7 A current rating meets the operational requirements of the target circuit design.

Fixed Inductors Part Context
