Gowanda Electronics Intros CF1008 Inductors

February 23, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Gowanda Electronics (Gowanda, NY) introduced an expansion of its CF1008 surface-mount inductor series, which offers new model RF inductors with low inductance values and high current ratings. The new models provide inductance values ranging from 0.10µH to 1µH and respond to the need for ever-higher current ratings as demanded by new RF applications.

The CF1008 Series of surface-mount inductors is targeted for use in RF applications in the electronics industry, especially for wireless and portable test and measurement equipment where solderability is a major concern. Other applications include all RF signal circuitry in communications equipment, medical diagnostic equipment and industrial process control equipment. The inductors are also suitable for use in computers, computer peripherals, security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment.

The CF Series is based on the company’s CC Series, but the core is ferrite in place of ceramic. Both of these wire-wound series are designed with terminations that result in improved solderability and easier/faster assembly, enhanced system performance, and greater system reliability. The expansion of the CF1008 Series provides the market with inductors that have high current ratings in a ferrite-core product.

The Gowanda Electronics CF1008 Series of surface-mount inductors offers custom designs that meet the specific requirements of an application. Typical unit pricing for the CF1008 Series is $0.19 in production quantities.
