FASTRON presents the 0302AS series, its first wirewound chip inductor line in the ultra-compact 0302 package – the smallest format in the FASTRON portfolio to date.
Built with a ceramic core and enameled copper wire, the 0302AS series delivers exceptionally high Q factors at gigahertz frequencies. The series covers an inductance range from 1.2 nH to 19 nH and supports rated currents of up to 1.4 A. It operates reliably over a temperature range of -40 °C to +155 °C, including component self-heating. An epoxy cap on top of the inductor enables automated pick-and-place assembly.
Thanks to its miniature size and high Q performance, the 0302AS series is ideally suited for handheld and RF applications, including wireless earphones and headphones, smartwatches, game controllers, walkie-talkies, drones, point-of-sale terminals, routers, and measuring equipment.
The series is AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive applications. Inductors are supplied on tape and reel (1,000 or 5,000 pieces per reel), are RoHS compliant, and are suitable for lead-free soldering — consistent with all FASTRON components.
