HBWS2012-R12J

Overview

The HBWS2012-R12J is a fixed wirewound inductor from Max Echo, designed for surface-mount applications. It features an unshielded construction within a standard 0805 (2015 Metric) package footprint. The component provides an inductance value of 120 nH with a maximum DC resistance of 480 mOhm and supports a current rating of 500 mA. This specific variant is part of the broader HBWS series, which utilizes precision winding technology to deliver consistent magnetic performance suitable for high-frequency circuit implementations.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded wirewound construction for high-frequency signal integrity
• Standard 0805 surface-mount package for automated assembly compatibility
• Precision winding technology ensuring stable inductance characteristics

Applications

• RF filtering circuits
• DC-DC converter input/output stages
• High-frequency signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Max Echo documentation to confirm tolerance and packaging specifications. Distributor listings may vary; rely solely on manufacturer datasheets for electrical parameter validation. Ensure the component matches the required 0805 footprint and thermal ratings for your specific design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 120 nH unshielded inductor is required in an 0805 package. Consider the 480 mOhm DCR limit for power loss calculations and the 500 mA current rating for saturation analysis. Compare self-resonant frequency requirements against application needs to ensure adequate performance margins in high-frequency environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HBWS series of fixed inductors manufactured by Max Echo Technology Corp. The series utilizes low-temperature co-firing and precision winding techniques. The HBWS2012 designation indicates the physical size code corresponding to the 0805 metric standard, distinguishing it from other series like HBLS or HBWS variants with different footprints.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with HBWS2012-R10J or HBWS2012-33NJ if different inductance values are acceptable. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 0805 package dimensions and current handling capabilities to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesign.
