CT1008CSF-103G

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT1008CSF-103G is a fixed surface-mount wire-wound inductor from Central Technologies, designed for general-purpose applications. It features a nominal inductance of 10 µH with a tolerance of ±2%. The component utilizes a ceramic core and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C. Key electrical specifications include a maximum DC resistance of 12 Ω, a minimum quality factor of 20 at the test frequency, and a maximum rated current of 100 mA. It is RoHS compliant and contains no lead.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction suitable for automated assembly processes
• Wire-wound design utilizing a ceramic core for stability
• High precision tolerance of ±2% for accurate circuit tuning

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF Inductor circuits
• General Purpose filtering applications
• Signal processing networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' confirms the ±2% tolerance variant when ordering. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Confirm the package dimensions match the 1008 footprint requirements for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for the exact DC resistance and Q-factor values at the specified test frequency to ensure compatibility with the design specifications.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-precision 10 µH inductance is required in a compact 1008 package. The low current rating of 100 mA limits suitability for power supply filtering; it is best suited for signal paths or RF stages. Consider the 12 Ω DC resistance impact on circuit impedance. Compare against the standard ±10% (K) variant if tighter tolerance is not critical for the application performance.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT1008CSF series of fixed wire-wound chip inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from nanohenries to microhenries in a standardized 1008 surface-mount package. Variants are distinguished by their tolerance codes, such as G for ±2%, J for ±5%, and K for ±10%, allowing designers to balance cost and precision requirements.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include CT1008CSF-103J (±5% tolerance) and CT1008CSF-103K (±10% tolerance). These parts share identical physical dimensions and basic electrical characteristics but differ in inductance accuracy. Verify that the looser tolerances meet the circuit's performance margins before substitution.
