Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'K' indicates the ±10% tolerance when ordering. Confirm the 1206 package dimensions match the target PCB layout. Ensure the 15 mA current rating meets the application's peak load requirements. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regulatory standards.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact 12 µH inductor with tight tolerance. Consider the 15 mA current limit for low-power signal paths. The 1206 size offers a balance between footprint efficiency and thermal handling. Compare against higher-current alternatives if the application demands greater power handling capabilities.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTML1206F series of multi-layer chip inductors. The series provides various inductance values ranging from 0.047 µH to 33 µH. The 'F' designation typically denotes the ferrite core material, while the suffix indicates tolerance. This series is intended for general electronic applications requiring reliable passive components.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 12 µH, 1206 package inductors with similar current ratings and tolerance levels. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same ferrite core characteristics and operating temperature range to ensure circuit stability.
