CTDR2F-680K

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTDR2F-680K is a fixed wirewound inductor from Central Technologies, featuring a nominal inductance of 68 µH with a tolerance of ±10%. It utilizes an unshielded drum core design in a radial vertical cylindrical package. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 53 mΩ and a rated current of 4.8 A. It operates within a temperature range of -25 °C to 85 °C and complies with RoHS standards.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded drum core construction for general purpose applications
• Radial leaded termination for through-hole mounting
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process

Fixed Inductors Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits
• General purpose filtering
• Power supply input/output stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' confirms RoHS compliance status as documented by the manufacturer. Ensure the order quantity matches standard bulk packaging requirements. Confirm that the radial lead spacing aligns with the target PCB footprint dimensions prior to procurement to avoid assembly issues.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68 µH inductance value is required for through-hole implementations. The 4.8 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Consider the unshielded nature for layout planning to manage potential electromagnetic interference. Verify thermal constraints against the 85 °C maximum operating temperature limit.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTDR2 series of drum core inductors offered by Central Technologies. The series provides various inductance values ranging from 1.0 µH to 2,200 µH. The 'F' suffix denotes RoHS compliance, distinguishing it from non-compliant variants within the same physical form factor.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 68 µH ±10% radial drum core inductors with comparable current ratings and DCR specifications. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
