AVX's 0402 MLO inductors offer tight tolerance in a reduced footprint
AVX has developed a multilayer organic RF inductor in a 0402 case size that offers tight tolerance in a small footprint. Providing high-Q and high self-resonance, the RoHS-compliant MLO™ 0402 Series inductor features an inductance range of 1nH to 32nH.
"Based on its patented multilayer low loss organic (MLO™) technology, the new MLO™ 0402 Series inductor represents a paradigm shift from traditional ceramic and thin film passive SMD components," said Larry Eisenberger, product manager at AVX. "Since Copper Organic Inductors (COIs) are polymer-based and use high conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion, the ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates and in laser-direct imaging allow for improved cost and tolerance control."
The low profile MLO™ 0402 Series inductor also offers high SRF (self-resonant frequency), and can support frequencies well above 1GHz. These advanced devices are expansion matched to printed circuit boards, allowing for improved reliability.
The MLO™ 0402 Series inductor is ideal for RF power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, filter networks and MRI systems. It can operate between, -55C to 125C, offers a 100 percent tin finish and is available in a lead-time of eight weeks.
