ATC chip inductors offer lead free terminations

The WL series of HF wire-wound chip inductors from American Technical Ceramic Corp. are available in inductance values ranging from 1nH to 1.25H, and are shipped in EIA case sizes of 0402, 0603, 0805, 1008, and 1206, with lead free terminations and rugged ceramic core construction.

Designed to complement the company's HF, low ESR capacitor products, the inductors are used in amplifier matching networks, filter, oscillator, dc blocking, and coupling/decoupling circuits found in 800MHz to 3.4GHz wireless applications.

The inductors have a Q factor of up to 100 and feature an equivalent resistance ranging from 45 milliohms to 298 milliohms. They operate from -400C to 1250C with 25ppm/0C to 125ppm/0C temperature coefficient of inductance.
