CTTF0402F-6N8H

Overview

The CTTF0402F-6N8H is a fixed surface-mount inductor from Central Technologies, designed for general-purpose RF applications. It features an inductance of 6.8 nH with a tolerance of ±0.3 nH (code H). The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a maximum DC resistance of 900 mΩ. It supports a maximum rated current of 260 mA and achieves a self-resonant frequency of 500 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for high-frequency stability
• Unshielded design suitable for compact layouts
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process

Applications

• RF circuits
• General purpose inductive filtering
• High-frequency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix 'H' corresponds to ±0.3 nH when ordering. Confirm that the 0402 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C range to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise low-nanohenry values in a small form factor. Consider the 260 mA current limit and 900 mΩ resistance for power handling requirements. Compare against other series variants if higher current or different tolerance levels are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTTF0402F series of thin film chip inductors. The series offers a wide range of inductance values from 0.2 nH to 33 nH. The 0402 package allows for high-density mounting on printed circuit boards while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6.8 nH inductors in the 0402 package with similar current ratings. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping. Check datasheets for equivalent self-resonant frequencies to ensure RF performance matches.
