• Designed specifically for radio frequency applications
• Compliant with RoHS environmental standards

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF Inductor circuits
• General purpose signal processing
• Surface mount electronic assemblies

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code suffix when ordering, as the base series requires explicit specification. Confirm that the lead-free status aligns with project requirements, noting that while this specific variant is RoHS compliant, other series members may differ. Ensure the 1008 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 0.68 µH inductance value in a compact 1008 footprint. Consider the 1.5 Ω DC resistance and 0.36 A current rating against circuit load demands. Verify compatibility with high-frequency operations up to the self-resonant frequency limits inherent to the ceramic core design.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CT1008CSF series of SMD wire-wound chip inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from nanohenries to microhenries, all sharing the 1008 surface-mount package form factor and ceramic core technology for consistent electrical characteristics across the product line.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CT1008CSF variants with identical 0.68 µH specifications but different tolerances, such as CT1008CSF-681J or CT1008CSF-681K. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 1008 package size, 0.68 µH inductance, and similar DC resistance to ensure functional equivalence.
