Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and material composition when sourcing, as manufacturer specifications may evolve. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, Ferroxcube International Holding B.V., prior to procurement. Ensure the selected packaging format matches your automated assembly requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate impedance values in space-constrained environments. The 0603 footprint allows for dense PCB layouts while providing necessary noise filtering. Consider the 1.8 A current rating to ensure the component does not saturate under normal operating conditions. Verify that the 60-ohm impedance aligns with the target noise frequencies in the circuit design.
