Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Central Technologies documentation to confirm the 120 nH value and 2.86 A rating. Ensure the axial package dimensions match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by the manufacturing process. Cross-reference datasheets for accurate thermal and electrical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-value, high-current axial inductor is needed. The shielded design is suitable for environments sensitive to magnetic coupling. Compare the 120 nH specification against circuit requirements to ensure proper impedance matching. Consider the physical size constraints relative to the 0.160-inch diameter.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS4F series of shielded axial inductors manufactured by Central Technologies. The series offers various inductance values ranging from nanohenries to microhenries. The CTS4F-R12K specifically addresses applications requiring precise low-inductance performance with significant current handling capabilities in an axial form factor.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 120 nH inductance, 2.86 A current rating, and axial package dimensions. Verify that alternative components offer comparable shielding and DC resistance characteristics to maintain circuit performance integrity.
