CT1008CSF-271G

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CT1008CSF-271G 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 270 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. Key electrical specifications include a maximum DC resistance of 1.6 Ω, a minimum quality factor of 30 at the nominal inductance, and a self-resonant frequency of 550 MHz. It supports a maximum rated current of 345 mA.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a ceramic core construction for stable performance in high-frequency circuits.
• Designed as an unshielded SMD component suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Optimized for RF applications with specific Q-factor and self-resonant frequency characteristics.

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• General-purpose signal processing
• High-frequency impedance matching

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to the required ±2% tolerance specification. Confirm that the lead-free status aligns with project compliance requirements, as datasheet metadata may vary by revision. Ensure the package dimensions match the target footprint design rules before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 270 nH is required with tight tolerance control. The 1008 (2520 metric) package size offers a balance between current handling and board space efficiency. Consider the 345 mA current limit and 1.6 Ω DC resistance to ensure compatibility with the circuit's power budget and signal integrity needs.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT1008CSF series of SMD ceramic core wire-wound inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series provides a wide range of inductance values from 3.9 nH to 10,000 nH. The CT1008CSF-271G specifically addresses the need for precise, low-value inductance in modern surface-mount electronics.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 270 nH ±2% inductors in the 1008 package, such as the HF1008R-271G from Delevan. Verify that alternative parts meet the same current rating and self-resonant frequency constraints to maintain circuit performance.
