CT0805HQF-16NJ

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT0805HQF-16NJ is a surface-mount ceramic core wire-wound inductor from Central Technologies, designed for high-frequency applications. It features a nominal inductance of 16 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 45 mΩ and a minimum quality factor of 72 at the test frequency of 250 MHz. Its self-resonant frequency reaches 1400 MHz, supporting operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a ceramic core construction for stable performance in high-frequency circuits.
• Designed as a general-purpose RF inductor suitable for chip-based surface mount assembly.
• Offers low DC resistance to minimize power loss in signal paths.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF inductor circuits
• General purpose filtering
• High-frequency signal processing

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status by checking the specific ordering suffix or manufacturer documentation, as leaded variants exist within the series. Confirm package dimensions and tape & reel specifications against current datasheets before integration. Ensure thermal ratings align with system operating conditions.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16 nH value with tight ±2% tolerance is required for RF applications. Consider the 1400 MHz self-resonant frequency limit for high-speed designs. Evaluate the 45 mΩ DC resistance against current handling requirements and compare Q-factor metrics at 250 MHz against alternative inductor types.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT0805HQF series of SMD ceramic core wire-wound inductors. The series provides values ranging from 2.5 nH to 51 nH in the 0805 package. The 'F' suffix typically denotes RoHS compliance, while the base model CT0805HQ includes both compliant and non-compliant options.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 16 nH ±2% 0805 ceramic core inductors from manufacturers such as Coilcraft or Murata. Verify that replacement parts match the 45 mΩ max DCR and 1400 MHz SRF specifications to maintain circuit performance.
