Inductor specialist FASTRON adds a series of full-ferrite-core wire-wound chip inductors in dimension 0402 to the company’s product portfolio. Compared with the very successful 0402AS series with ceramic core, the new 0402F with full ferrite core offer higher rated current values (IR) and lower DC resistance (DCR) compared to a 0402AS with identical inductance. The impedance of the 0402F is at lower level than with the 0402AS and at lower frequency while the coil Q-factor becomes slightly higher. Finally single layer winding up to an inductance of 180nH results in an excellent HF-performance of the 0402F.
The 0402F is a logical complement to the 0402AS both to be used in several high frequency applications. Due to improved performance regarding power losses the 0402F is a perfect part for resonant circuits. The major applications for the 0402F are oscillators, signal generators and RF filters mainly used in telecom- and wireless communication systems as well as in measurement-, automotive- and industrial systems.
The 0402F is available with inductance values from 20nH to 270nH. The operating temperature for the 0402F series is -40°C to +85°C. Both series, the 0402AS as well as the 0402F have a gold flash pad metallization for excellent solderability and an epoxy cap for automated pick and place. The components are suitable for lead-free soldering and are RoHS conform.
