New Wirewound Chip Inductors Provide the Highest Inductance in the Industry’s Smallest Package

June 13, 2017

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 highest Q factors currently available in that package size — up to 62 at 2.4 GHz. These Q factors are twice as high those available with thin-film, multilayer inductors. It offers SRF values as high as 4.35 GHz, DCR as low as 0.75 Ohms, and Irms as high as 140 mA.
