Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Central Technologies to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format. Cross-reference physical dimensions against the target PCB footprint to guarantee mechanical compatibility during integration.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded axial inductor with 220 µH nominal inductance is required. Consider the 380 mA current rating and 1.5 Ω DCR limits relative to circuit load requirements. Evaluate the 7.62 mm x 18.41 mm package size against available board space constraints before finalizing the design.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS7F series of shielded axial inductors from Central Technologies. The series provides various inductance values optimized for general electronic applications. Components in this family share similar physical dimensions and mounting styles while differing in electrical specifications such as inductance and current ratings.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other shielded axial inductors with matching 220 µH inductance and comparable current ratings. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 1.5 Ω DCR limit and 125°C temperature rating. Ensure physical dimensions remain compatible with existing PCB layouts.
