Vishay Extends IMC Family with IMC-0402-01/0603-01 Inductors

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) extended its IMC family of wire-wound, surface-mount inductors two new devices packaged in 0402 and 0603 case sizes, designed to provide space savings in communications applications, including cellular phones, cable modems, ADSL, repeaters, Bluetooth devices and other electronic devices. The new IMC-0402-01 and IMC-0603-01 measure 0.039 in x 0.022 in x 0.020 in (1.00 mm x 0.55 mm x 0.5 mm) and 0.063 in x 0.041 in x 0.041 in (1.60 mm x 1.05 mm x 1.05 mm).

The IMC-0402-01 offers self-resonant frequency values ranging from 2,100 MHz to 6,000 MHz over an inductance range of 1.0 nH to 47.0 nH, and improved minimum Q factor values from 26 to 13. The IMC-0603-01 offers self-resonant frequency values from 1,000 MHz to 6,900 MHz over a broad inductance range of 2.0 nH to 270 nH, and minimum Q factor values from 43 to 16. Rated dc current ranges from 150 mA to 1,360 mA for the IMC-0402-01, and 170 mA to 700 mA for the IMC-0603-01. Tolerances as low as ±2% are available for devices with inductance ratings of 10 nH and up.

The new IMC inductors are rated for an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, and a storage temperature of -40 °C to +125 °C. Samples and production quantities of the inductors are available now. Lead time for production quantities is nine weeks. Pricing for US delivery in 25,000-piece quantities starts at $0.06.
