Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing to confirm the tolerance code. The 'K' designation indicates a ±10% tolerance. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the required lead length and package dimensions specified in the official datasheet to guarantee mechanical compatibility with the target PCB layout.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high inductance values in a compact axial form factor. Consider the 24 mA current rating and 137 Ohm DC resistance limits during circuit design. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -55 °C to 125 °C range to maintain performance integrity.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS3F series of shielded molded inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from low microhenry to high millihenry options. All units in this family share similar axial packaging and shielding characteristics, differing primarily in electrical parameters.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CTS3F series variants for different inductance values. Verify terminal plating and physical dimensions against alternative suppliers if sourcing from non-Central Technologies manufacturers.
