FSLU2520-18NKP2

Overview

The FSLU2520-18NKP2 is a fixed surface-mount inductor from Toko America Inc., belonging to the FSLU2520 series. It features an unshielded drum core wirewound construction with ferrite core material. The component provides an inductance of 18 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. It has a current rating of 600 mA and utilizes a 1008 (2520 Metric) package footprint.

Feature Summary

• Wirewound construction on a ferrite drum core for stable inductance
• Unshielded design suitable for general-purpose applications
• Compliant with EIA standard 1008 footprint dimensions

Applications

• RF signal filtering
• Impedance matching networks
• High-frequency circuit decoupling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P2' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact inductance value of 18 nH and tolerance requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation may vary by production batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-frequency circuits requiring low inductance values. The 1008 package size offers a balance between current handling and board space. Consider the unshielded nature when designing layouts to minimize electromagnetic interference coupling with nearby traces.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FSLU2520 series, which consists of ferrite core wirewound surface mount chip inductors. The series conforms to the EIA standard 1008 footprint, providing standardized mounting dimensions for automated assembly processes in electronic manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same FSLU2520 series offering identical 18 nH specifications. Verify that alternative components match the 600 mA current rating and physical 1008 package dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints.
