HBLS0603-5N6S_M

Overview

The HBLS0603-5N6S_M is an unshielded multilayer RF inductor manufactured by Max Echo. It features a nominal inductance of 5.6 nH with a tolerance of ±0.3 nH. The component operates within a DC current range up to 260 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 360 mOhms. Designed for surface mount technology, it utilizes a 0201 (0603 metric) package with dimensions of 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm. The device supports high-frequency applications with a self-resonant frequency of approximately 4 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded multilayer construction for compact RF circuit integration
• High self-resonant frequency capability suitable for microwave frequencies
• Low DC resistance design to minimize signal loss in high-frequency paths

Applications

• RF matching networks
• Impedance matching circuits
• High-frequency filtering applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Max Echo against official datasheets, as this part number format is also associated with other manufacturers like Vishay or TAIYO YUDEN in public databases. Confirm the specific electrical parameters, particularly the 260 mA current rating and 360 mOhm resistance, which may vary if sourced from different production lines or generic listings. Ensure the package size matches the required 0201 footprint on the PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 5.6 nH is required for high-frequency signal integrity. The unshielded design offers lower parasitic capacitance compared to shielded alternatives but requires careful layout to prevent crosstalk. Consider the 260 mA current limit for power handling requirements and ensure the 0201 package fits the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the category of fixed surface-mount RF inductors. These components are essential for tuning and filtering in wireless communication devices. The 0201 package size represents a balance between miniaturization and manufacturability, commonly used in mobile phones and IoT devices where space is limited.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Cross-referencing with similar 5.6 nH 0201 unshielded inductors from other manufacturers requires verification of exact electrical tolerances and current ratings.
