Fixed Inductors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact inductance value and tolerance level required for your design. Ensure the selected variant matches the necessary current handling and DC resistance specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the package dimensions to ensure compatibility with your PCB layout constraints.

Fixed Inductors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value is critical for high-frequency signal integrity. The 0402 size allows for space-constrained designs without sacrificing electrical performance. Consider the unshielded nature of the drum core when planning layout spacing to minimize potential coupling effects. Verify that the 560 mA current rating meets the peak operational demands of the target circuit.

Fixed Inductors Part Context

This part belongs to the WB series of molded chip wirewound inductors from Cal-Chip Electronics. These components are designed for automatic mounting in high-density electronic circuits. The series utilizes heat-proof resin encapsulation to provide mechanical shock resistance and dimensional accuracy. Metal terminals serve as electrodes, offering superior durability compared to traditional plating methods.

Fixed Inductors Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When evaluating alternatives, prioritize components with identical 15 nH inductance, ±2% tolerance, and 0402 package dimensions. Ensure any replacement maintains comparable DC resistance and current ratings to preserve circuit functionality.
