CTS5F-250J

Fixed Inductors Overview

The CTS5F-250J is a fixed axial molded shielded inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 25 µH with a ±5% tolerance. The component utilizes through-hole mounting and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. Testing frequency is specified at 2.5 MHz. It is lead-free and RoHS compliant, designed for general-purpose applications requiring shielded magnetic performance.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Axial molded shielded construction for magnetic containment
• Through-hole radial/axial lead termination style
• Lead-free and RoHS compliant material composition

Fixed Inductors Applications

• General purpose electronic circuits
• Power supply filtering applications
• Signal processing components

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance code 'J' corresponds to ±5% rather than standard ±10% variants in the CTS5F series. Confirm the operating temperature rating aligns with system requirements, as some related models specify lower maximum temperatures. Ensure the axial lead configuration matches the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when shielded magnetic fields are required to prevent interference with nearby circuitry. The axial form factor suits automated insertion or manual assembly processes. Consider the 25 µH value relative to target impedance characteristics at the 2.5 MHz test frequency to ensure proper circuit behavior.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS5F series of shielded inductors from Central Technologies. The series includes various inductance values such as 2.5 µH and 250 µH. The CTS5F-250J specifically denotes the 25 µH variant with tight tolerance, distinguishing it from other series members like the CTHRF3F which lacks shielding.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the CTS5F-250K (±10% tolerance) if wider variance is acceptable. Other Central Technologies axial shielded inductors may serve as alternatives if pin compatibility and electrical parameters match the design specifications.
