TDK-EPC, has announced the TDK MLG0603S series of multilayer ceramic coils with the high inductance values. The 0603 inductors feature an inductance of up to 180nH at 100MHz.
To increase the inductance, the company is claimed to optimise the coil electrode design. As a result, the existing lineup of products, which previously offered inductances up to 100nH, was expanded with the addition of six latest components with inductances ranging from 110 to 180nH, claims the company. The inductors include 62 components of E24 series with DC resistance values ranging from 0.1 to 8.5Ω, rated currents from 50 to 600mA, and inductances from 0.3 to 180nH.
The ceramic coils have an operating temperature range of -55 to +125°C and are designed for use in the RF circuits of mobile communications devices such as mobile phones and smartphones. They are also suitable for use in other RF signal circuits such as those found in Bluetooth devices.
