Panasonic QF Chip Inductors

Panasonic QF Chip InductorsThe QF covers the 1 to 39 nH inductance range with its 0402 Case Size.
The 0402 case size is one of the more popular case sizes for new designs due to its relatively small foot print which utilizes less area on the printed circuit board than larger case sizes. Additionally, it contains a lesser amount of parasitic elements of resistance and capacitance which accounts for its improved electrical performance.

In addition to offering a wide inductance range in the 0402 case size, it also has the benefit of higher Quality Factors (Qs) than the previously available parts. This laser-cut series also offers the advantage of being the lower-cost alternative to wire-wound technology parts. The QF Series can handle from 150 to 400 mA, while having a RDC max of 1.7 to 0.05 Ω.

Features & Benefits:

  • Very High Q (10 min at 100 MHz)
  • Tight Inductance Tolerances available (+/- 0.2, 0.3 nH or 2, 5 %)
  • High Self-Resonant Frequency (1800 to 6000 MHz)
  • Less Expensive than same case size wire-wound chip inductor.
  • Less Expensive than same case size wire-wound chip inductor.
  • No Polarity / Not Position Placement Sensitive

Applications:

  • High-Frequency Electronic Circuitry, especially for portable product applications
  • Wireless Tele-communications
  • Wireless Data-communications
  • Portable Computers & Peripherals
  • Portable Test & Measurement Products
