CTS3F-333K

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS3F-333K is a fixed inductor from Central Technologies featuring an axial leaded package and shielded molded construction. It has a nominal inductance of 33 mH with a tolerance of ±10%. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. Maximum DC resistance is specified at 34 Ohms, and the rated current is 15 mA. The device utilizes an amorphous magnetic core material and is designed for general-purpose applications.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Shielded molded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference
• Amorphous magnetic core material provides stable performance
• Axial leaded format supports through-hole mounting

Fixed Inductors Applications

• General purpose filtering circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Signal conditioning networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as datasheets may indicate conflicting information regarding lead content. Confirm exact inductance tolerance code (K for ±10%) during ordering. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 125 °C maximum operating temperature limit. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers against official catalogs to avoid substitution errors.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when high inductance values are required in an axial form factor. The shielded design is suitable for environments sensitive to magnetic coupling. Verify that the 15 mA current rating meets circuit requirements. Consider the physical dimensions of 4.06 mm diameter and 10.40 mm length for board space constraints.

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 ranging from microhenries to millihenries. The 'F' suffix typically denotes RoHS compliance in related series variants, though specific verification for this model is recommended.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CTS3F series parts with matching inductance and tolerance. Generic axial shielded inductors with similar electrical parameters may serve as alternatives if pin compatibility and thermal ratings are verified.
