CTS3F-151K

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS3F-151K is a fixed axial leaded inductor from Central Technologies with a nominal inductance of 150 µH and a tolerance of ±10%. It features a shielded molded construction designed to minimize electromagnetic interference. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 4.1 Ω and a rated current of 140 mA. It utilizes two terminals for through-hole mounting.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Shielded molded design reduces magnetic field emissions
• Axial lead configuration for standard PCB mounting
• General purpose inductor suitable for filtering applications

Fixed Inductors Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits
• Signal filtering stages
• Power supply noise suppression

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the CTS3F series to confirm thermal ratings and current derating curves. Ensure the axial lead spacing matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by the assembly process. Cross-reference the 140 mA rating against peak load conditions.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded axial inductor is required to limit EMI in compact designs. The 150 µH value suits intermediate frequency filtering. Compare the 4.1 Ω DCR against circuit loss requirements. Consider the 140 mA current limit for steady-state operation margins.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS3F series of shielded axial inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values with similar physical dimensions. It serves as an alternative to unshielded wire-wound types where space and noise constraints exist.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 150 µH inductance, axial package, and shielding type. Verify that replacement parts meet or exceed the 140 mA current rating and 4.1 Ω DC resistance limits to maintain circuit performance.
