Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the CTS7F-120K to confirm exact DC resistance and saturation current ratings, as these values vary significantly across the series. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tolerance specification. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation to validate compliance status and physical dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded axial inductor is required for RF applications. Consider the 12 µH value and ±10% tolerance against circuit requirements. Evaluate the maximum rated current and self-resonant frequency limits to ensure suitability for the target frequency band. Confirm that the tubular package fits the available PCB space.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS7F series of shielded axial inductors from Central Technologies. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from low microhenries to high millihenries. These components are designed for general-purpose and RF applications requiring shielding to minimize external magnetic field interference.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other CTS7F series variants such as CTS7F-100K or CTS7F-150K if inductance adjustments are permissible. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
