• Surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuits
• Impedance matching networks
• Filtering applications

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' corresponds to the required ±2% tolerance when ordering, as other codes like K or M indicate different tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free terminal plating requirements against project specifications. Ensure the 1008 footprint dimensions align with the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency designs requiring precise inductance control due to its tight ±2% tolerance. The 68 nH value and 1300 MHz self-resonant frequency make it suitable for VHF/UHF bands. Consider the 0.5 A current rating to ensure the component does not saturate under peak load conditions in the target circuit topology.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT1008CSF series of SMD ceramic core wire-wound inductors. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from 3.9 nH to 10,000 nH. The 1008 case size provides a compact form factor for space-constrained electronics while maintaining reliable electrical characteristics for general-purpose and RF uses.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CT1008CSF variants with identical 68 nH inductance but different tolerances, such as CT1008CSF-680J (±5%) or CT1008CSF-680K (±10%). Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 1008 footprint, 68 nH nominal value, and similar current handling capabilities.
