Toko America Inc. (Mount Prospect, IL) announced the availability of its LLV0603FB non-polarity, multilayer ceramic chip inductor with an EIA standard 0201 footprint (0.6mm × 0.3mm) and a profile of 0.33 maximum. Manufactured with a proprietary ceramic material and process, the lead-free chip inductors are suitable for use in RF modules and embedded sub-assemblies where space is limited and printed stripline inductors are impractical.
Designed for use in high-frequency impedance matching circuitry, LC filter networks and as RF chokes, the inductors are available in ±0.3nH and ±5 percent inductance tolerances over an industrial temperature range of 55 to 125 degrees C. High self-resonant frequencies ranging from 5,000MHz to 20,000MHz are controlled within ±20 percent, and inductance values are specified at 800MHz as well as 100MHz. A non-polarity architecture minimizes the potential for magnetic coupling effects between adjacent unshielded ceramic inductors in space-constrained applications.
The LLV0603FB is available in 1.0nH to 22nH inductance values and is packaged on tape-and-reel in 15,000-piece quantities.
