LTF0402CT0N4

Fixed Inductors Overview

The LTF0402CT0N4 is a fixed surface-mount inductor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. It features an inductance of 0.4 nH (400 pH) and a maximum DC resistance of 100 milliohms. The component supports a rated current of 800 mA and utilizes a 0402 (1005 metric) package with dimensions of 1.00 mm x 0.50 mm. It is designed for high-frequency RF applications requiring precise impedance matching.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Ultra-low inductance value optimized for RF signal integrity
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs
• Low DC resistance to minimize power loss in high-current paths

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF impedance matching networks
• High-frequency signal filtering circuits
• Broadband amplifier biasing networks

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics and reliability data. Confirm that the 0.4 nH inductance and 100 mOhm resistance values align with your circuit requirements. Ensure the 0402 package size fits within your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low inductance is critical for RF performance. The 0402 package offers a balance between size and handling. Consider the 800 mA current rating to ensure the inductor does not saturate under operating conditions. Verify compatibility with standard SMT assembly processes.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to Stackpole's fixed inductor series, specifically designed for surface-mount technology. The 'LTF' prefix indicates its classification as a fixed inductor.
