CTTF0603F-2N2C

Overview

The CTTF0603F-2N2C is a fixed, unshielded thin film inductor manufactured by Central Technologies. It features a nominal inductance of 2.2 nH with a tolerance of ±1%. The component operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C and has a maximum DC resistance of 200 mΩ. It supports a rated DC current of 300 mA and achieves a self-resonant frequency of 10 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for high-frequency stability
• Unshielded design suitable for compact layouts
• High self-resonant frequency operation

Applications

• RF circuit impedance matching
• High-frequency signal filtering
• Broadband amplifier biasing networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tolerance suffix code during ordering, as the base model designation requires explicit tolerance specification. Confirm that the unshielded package style aligns with the target PCB layout requirements to prevent unintended coupling. Ensure the rated DC current of 300 mA meets the operational load demands without saturation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise low-nanohenry values at high frequencies. The thin film technology offers superior Q-factor performance compared to wire-wound alternatives at these scales. Consider the 0603 footprint constraints and the lack of shielding when designing surrounding trace routing to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTTF0603F series of unshielded thin film inductors from Central Technologies. The series covers a wide range of low inductance values optimized for RF and microwave applications. Unlike ceramic-core or wire-wound types, thin film inductors provide consistent performance at gigahertz frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2.2 nH value, 0603 footprint, and thin film construction. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer comparable self-resonant frequencies near 10 GHz and similar DC resistance limits to maintain circuit integrity.
