MLG0402Q1N5CT000

Fixed Inductors Overview

The MLG0402Q1N5CT000 is a fixed multilayer inductor from TDK's MLG-Q series, designed for ultra-high frequency applications. It features an inductance of 1.5 nH with a tolerance of ±0.3 nH and operates at a test frequency of 100 MHz. The component has a maximum DC resistance of 600 mOhms and a rated current of 220 mA. It exhibits a Q value of 2 at 100 MHz and a self-resonant frequency of 10 GHz. Housed in a compact 01005 (0402 metric) surface-mount package measuring 0.40mm x 0.20mm x 0.22mm, it functions without magnetic shielding.

Fixed Inductors Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 01005 footprint optimized for high-density PCB layouts
• High self-resonant frequency capability suitable for RF signal paths
• Unshielded ceramic construction minimizes parasitic effects

Fixed Inductors Applications

• RF matching networks in wireless communication modules
• Impedance matching circuits in mobile devices
• Biasing components in high-frequency amplifier stages

Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format, as the part number may correspond to tape-and-reel or cut-tape configurations depending on distributor allocation. Ensure that the requested quantity aligns with standard manufacturing reel sizes to avoid unnecessary handling fees. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires minimal inductance values below 2 nH for precise impedance control. The unshielded design is appropriate where electromagnetic interference coupling is manageable. Engineers should account for the low Q factor at operating frequencies when calculating circuit efficiency and signal loss characteristics.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This component belongs to the MLG-Q series of multilayer ceramic inductors manufactured by TDK Corporation. The series specializes in ultra-high frequency performance using proprietary thin-film technology. These inductors are engineered to provide stable electrical characteristics across wide temperature ranges while maintaining consistent inductance values under varying bias conditions.
