Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as LF may indicate lead-free compliance or other material differences. Confirm that the required inductance value and current ratings align with the circuit design specifications before procurement. Ensure compatibility with surface mount assembly processes and check for any specific environmental certifications required by the end application.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded toroidal inductor is required for space-constrained surface mount applications. Consider the 330 µH inductance and 360 mA saturation current limits to ensure proper operation within the intended circuit. Evaluate the need for magnetic shielding to prevent interference with nearby sensitive components, particularly in RF or medical applications where signal integrity is critical.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the SMT3106 series from Gowanda Electronics, which includes various surface mount toroidal inductors. The series is designed to provide isolated, molded ring coils for applications requiring high Q values and magnetic shielding.
