Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CT' against official Stackpole documentation to confirm the exact tolerance and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with RF application requirements regarding self-resonant frequency and current ratings before finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise low-nanohenry inductance values. The thin-film technology offers superior performance compared to thick-film alternatives in high-frequency environments. Consider the 260 mA current limit and 1.05 Ohm resistance when designing power-sensitive RF circuits.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to Stackpole's LTF series of fixed inductors, designed specifically for radio frequency applications. The series provides various inductance values in standard SMD packages, catering to modern electronics that demand miniaturization and high-performance signal integrity in compact form factors.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 6.8 nH 0402 thin-film inductors from manufacturers such as Murata or TDK. Verify that substitute components match the 6 GHz self-resonant frequency and 260 mA current handling capabilities to ensure circuit functionality remains unaffected.
