LQW15AN15NG80D

Fixed Inductors Overview

The Murata LQW15AN15NG80D is a fixed surface-mount RF inductor from the LQW15 series. It features an unshielded wirewound construction with a nominal inductance of 15 nH and a tolerance of ±2%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 1.15 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 114 mΩ. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, exhibits a minimum Q factor of 31 at 250 MHz, and achieves a self-resonant frequency of 5.5 GHz. The device utilizes a standard 0402 (1005 metric) package measuring 1.00 mm x 0.60 mm x 0.50 mm.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Unshielded wirewound design for low parasitic effects
• High self-resonant frequency suitable for RF applications
• Non-magnetic core material prevents magnetic interference

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks
• Impedance transformation circuits

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates the required ±2% tolerance level against project specifications. Confirm that the unshielded topology aligns with electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Ensure the 0402 footprint dimensions match the PCB land pattern. Validate RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the target assembly.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 15 nH value with tight tolerance is required in constrained spaces. The unshielded structure minimizes mutual inductance coupling between adjacent components. Consider the 1.15 A current rating to ensure thermal stability under continuous operation. The high self-resonant frequency allows effective performance in ultra-high frequency bands without significant parasitic capacitance impact.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the LQW15AN family of chip RF inductors manufactured by Murata Electronics. The series offers various inductance values in the 0402 package size.
