Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the LTF0402CT2N0 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics prior to integration. Ensure that the selected component meets the required self-resonant frequency constraints for the target application. Cross-reference the package dimensions and termination specifications with the PCB footprint design to guarantee mechanical compatibility during assembly.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when precise inductance control and high Q factors are required in minimal space. The thin-film construction offers superior stability compared to standard wirewound alternatives at very low inductance values. Consider the 350 mOhm DC resistance limit for current handling requirements and verify that the unshielded nature does not interfere with nearby sensitive traces or components in the layout.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to Stackpole's line of fixed inductors, specifically utilizing thin-film technology for precision applications. The 0402 form factor allows for dense board layouts while maintaining reliable performance. It serves as a passive component solution for designs requiring stable, low-inductance values with tight manufacturing tolerances.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 2 nH inductance, 0402 package, and thin-film construction. Verify that alternative parts maintain similar Q values and SRF characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
