CT1008CSF-102G

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT1008CSF-102G is a surface-mount wire-wound chip inductor from Central Technologies, designed for general-purpose and RF 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 1 µH with a tolerance of ±2%. Key electrical specifications include a maximum DC resistance of 1.8 Ω, a minimum quality factor of 25 at the test frequency, and a maximum rated current of 0.3 A. The device complies with RoHS standards and utilizes an e3 JESD-609 code.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a wire-wound construction on a ceramic core for stable inductance characteristics.
• Designed for high reliability and suitability in RF circuit applications.
• Complies with RoHS environmental directives for lead-free manufacturing.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF Inductor circuits
• General Purpose Inductor applications
• Surface Mount Device (SMD) assembly

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix 'G' corresponds to the required ±2% tolerance before ordering, as other codes such as J, K, or M denote different tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status if lead-free certification is mandatory for the project. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C range to maintain performance integrity.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 1 µH inductance with tight ±2% tolerance is required for RF or general-purpose filtering. Consider the 0.3 A current rating and 1.8 Ω DC resistance limits against circuit requirements. The 1008 package size suits space-constrained designs, while the ceramic core offers stability suitable for high-frequency operations compared to iron powder alternatives.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT1008CSF series of SMD wire-wound chip inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series covers an inductance range from 3.9 nH to 10,000 nH. The CT1008CSF-102G specifically represents the 1 µH variant within this lineup, sharing common physical dimensions and core technology with other values in the family.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include CT1008CSF-102J (±5% tolerance) and CT1008CSF-102K (±10% tolerance). These parts share identical physical dimensions and core materials but differ in inductance precision. Verify that the looser tolerance meets the target circuit design requirements before substitution.
