CTS3F-331J

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS3F-331J is a fixed axial leaded inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 330 µH with a maximum DC resistance of 6.4 Ω. The component has a maximum rated current of 110 mA and utilizes a shielded molded construction. It operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 105 °C and complies with RoHS standards.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Shielded molded design for electromagnetic interference reduction
• Axial leaded termination for through-hole mounting
• Wide operating temperature capability

Fixed Inductors Applications

• General purpose filtering circuits
• RF applications requiring axial components
• Power supply input/output stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'J' corresponds to the required tolerance level as defined in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm that the axial package dimensions align with the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 110 mA current rating meets the peak and RMS requirements of the intended circuit application before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when an axial form factor is mandatory for mechanical stability or existing board architecture. The 330 µH value suits moderate frequency filtering needs. Consider the 6.4 Ω DCR impact on voltage drop if used in low-voltage power paths. Compare against surface mount alternatives only if space constraints allow reflow soldering processes.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS3F series of shielded axial inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from microhenries to millihenries, maintaining consistent physical dimensions and shielding characteristics across the family for standardized design integration.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other axial shielded inductors with identical 330 µH inductance, similar current ratings, and compatible package dimensions. Verify pin spacing and height restrictions when evaluating cross-brand replacements.
