IMC0402ER5N6K01

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Vishay Dale IMC0402ER5N6K01 is a fixed, unshielded wirewound RF inductor designed for surface mount applications. It features an inductance of 5.6 nH with a tolerance of ±10%. The component operates within a current rating of 300 mA and exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 180 mOhms. It is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) package, measuring 1.00mm x 0.55mm x 0.60mm. The unit supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Utilizes a wirewound construction for stable RF performance
• Unshielded design minimizes parasitic effects in high-frequency circuits
• Compact 0402 footprint enables dense PCB layout integration

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering
• Impedance transformation stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'K' confirms the ±10% tolerance requirement against schematic specifications. Ensure the 0402 package dimensions align with the designated land pattern on the PCB. Confirm that the 300 mA current rating satisfies the peak operational load without saturation. Check for RoHS3 compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 5.6 nH is required for RF tuning. The wirewound technology offers distinct advantages over multilayer types regarding Q-factor at specific frequencies. Consider the unshielded nature for applications where magnetic interference must be minimized or directed away from sensitive traces.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay Dale IMC series, which specializes in small-form-factor RF inductors. The series provides various inductance values tailored for wireless communication and RF front-end modules. The IMC-0402 variant specifically addresses space-constrained designs requiring reliable passive components.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include Bourns CW100505-5N6J. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer identical 5.6 nH inductance and compatible 0402 mechanical dimensions before substitution.
