Courtesy of Coilcraft Understanding RF Inductor Specifications RF inductor selection involves these key parameters: mounting (surface mount or through-hole), inductance value, current rating, DC resistance (DCR), self-resonant frequency (SRF), Q factor, and temperature rating. While small size is typically desired, the laws of physics limit how small an inductor can be for a given application….

Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft has introduced its new 0201HL Series of chip inductors available in seven inductance values ranging from 22 to 51 nH, the highest currently offered in a wirewound 0201 package. This inductance range is fully optimized for impedance matching in 700 MHz LTE and 5G applications.The 0201HL Series also provides the…
