CT0805CSF-680K

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0805CSF-680K is a surface-mount general-purpose inductor from Central Technologies, designed for the 0805 footprint. It features a ceramic core and offers a nominal inductance of 0.068 µH with a ±10% tolerance. The component supports a maximum rated current of 0.4 A and exhibits a minimum quality factor of 48 at its nominal inductance. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C and has a self-resonant frequency of 1200 MHz.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a ceramic core construction for stable performance
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) applications
• Provides high self-resonant frequency characteristics

Fixed Inductors Applications

• Filter choke circuits
• General purpose signal processing
• RF circuit impedance matching

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code 'K' corresponds to ±10% when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure the 0805 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints. Check that the 0.4 A current rating meets the operational requirements of the intended circuit design.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact 0805 form factor with precise low-inductance values. The ceramic core material ensures stability across the specified operating temperature range. Consider the 1200 MHz self-resonant frequency limit when designing for higher frequency signals. Evaluate the DC resistance and current handling capabilities against the specific load conditions.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0805CSF series of chip inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series covers a wide range of inductance values from 2.2 nH to 2700 nH, all housed in the standard 0805 SMD package. These components are engineered for use in consumer electronics and communication devices where space efficiency is critical.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.068 µH inductance, 0805 package size, and ceramic core construction. Verify that alternative parts meet or exceed the 0.4 A current rating and 1200 MHz self-resonant frequency specifications.
