Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code required for the order, as the datasheet indicates that tolerance codes must be specified during procurement. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status, noting that this specific part may contain lead. Ensure the axial leaded package matches the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing the purchase order.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-inductance value of 68 mH is required in a shielded axial package. Consider the low current rating of 12 mA and high DC resistance of 580 Ohms when designing the circuit. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55 °C to 125 °C meets the environmental conditions of the application.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS3 series of inductors from Central Technologies. The series includes various inductance values ranging from microhenries to millihenries, available in both axial and radial configurations. The 'F' suffix typically denotes a shielded or molded variant within this product family, distinguishing it from unshielded wire-wound types.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 68 mH shielded axial inductors with similar current ratings. Cross-reference specifications for DC resistance and self-resonant frequency if used in RF applications. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before replacing.
