Pulse Debuts New RF Chip Inductor Family

January 16, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Pulse Engineering Inc. (Singapore) announced its new miniature RF chip inductor family in standard 0805 housing, which features high inductance, a high current rating and low dc resistance. The 10 devices in the chip inductor family meet the demand for miniaturization.

With a small footprint and high stability, the devices are suitable for a wide range of applications, including general signal conditioning and RF filtering in PCs and other consumer electronics.

The inductors feature a wire-wound ferrite core construction with tin/lead-coated terminations. The devices exhibit inductance values ranging from 1µH to 33µH, with an inductance tolerance of ±10 percent or ±5 percent and corresponding minimum Q values ranging from 15 to 10. The wire-wound, ferrite core construction enables a minimum SRF of 17MHz to 63MHz. The maximum dc resistance is from 1.2 ohms to 10.7 ohms, and the maximum rated current is 60mAdc to 245mAdc.

The devices are offered in 2,000-piece reels.
