CTS1F-3R3K

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS1F-3R3K is a fixed axial leaded molded shielded inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 3.3 µH with a tolerance of 10%. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 620 mΩ and a rated current of 540 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and utilizes an axial mounting configuration.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Molded shielded construction for electromagnetic interference reduction
• Axial leaded package design for through-hole integration
• Fixed inductance value suitable for general RF applications

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF circuit filtering
• General purpose signal processing
• Through-hole electronic assemblies

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as Central Technologies and CT are distinct entities. Confirm that the 'Shielded Molded' description aligns with project requirements, as datasheet availability varies across distributors. Ensure the axial lead pitch matches the target PCB layout before ordering.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded axial inductor is required for space-constrained through-hole designs. The 3.3 µH value and 540 mA rating define its operational limits. Consider the 620 mΩ DC resistance impact on power loss compared to unshielded alternatives.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS1F series of shielded mold inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values in an axial form factor, distinguishing it from the CTC2F and CTC5F series which utilize different core materials and packaging styles.
