MHQ1005P16NGTD25

Fixed Inductors Overview

The MHQ1005P16NGTD25 is a multilayer ceramic RF inductor from TDK's MHQ-P series, designed for high-frequency applications. It features an inductance of 16 nH with a tolerance of ±2%. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and supports a maximum DC current of 260 mA. Its maximum DC resistance is 800 mOhms, with a minimum Q factor of 20 and a self-resonant frequency of 3.5 GHz. Housed in a standard 0402 (1005 metric) surface-mount package measuring 1.0 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.6 mm, it utilizes a ceramic core and unshielded construction.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• High Q factor achieved through advanced materials and smoother electrode surfaces
• Optimized for low-loss radio frequency matching circuits
• Compact 0402 footprint compatible with wirewound inductor dimensions

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching circuits in mobile devices
• Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q200 qualification
• High-frequency signal processing systems

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'GTD25' against official TDK documentation to confirm automotive grade status and packaging details. Ensure the requested quantity matches the manufacturer's standard reel size of 10,000 units or cut-tape availability. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to finalizing procurement orders to ensure supply chain integrity.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16 nH inductance is required for RF applications with strict space constraints. Consider the 260 mA current rating and 800 mOhm DCR for power handling needs. The unshielded design requires careful PCB layout to minimize electromagnetic interference. Verify that the 3.5 GHz self-resonant frequency aligns with the target operating frequency of the circuit.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the MHQ1005P series, which represents TDK's high-performance multilayer ceramic inductors. The series is engineered to provide high Q factors comparable to wirewound inductors while maintaining a small footprint. These components are widely used in modern electronic devices where size reduction and high-frequency performance are critical design parameters.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include MHQ1005P9N1GTD25 and MHQ1005P36NHTD25, provided the inductance value difference is acceptable for the application. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent 0402 RF inductors, but electrical characteristics such as Q factor and self-resonant frequency must be verified against the original specifications.
