Energy Efficient Ceramic Wirewound Chip Inductor for High-Frequency Space and Aero Applications

Gowanda Electronics’ four new internal solder-free Ceramic Wirewound Chip Inductor (CC0402, CC0603, CC0805, and CC1008) series have been released for increasing the reliability in Space/Aero programs. Along with the absence of internal soldering, these new H-Core solution’s winding is fully protected by UV, coil forms. The devices possess co-fired terminations and fully encapsulated designs are available for extra durability.

Targeting the high-frequency applications, the CC0402 is available in a 1.20mm x 0.065mm x 0.07mm,0.05g package and offers capacitance options range from 10nH to 4700nH with DC currency ratings from 220mA to 1000mA and a tolerance of 2%. With a flat-top cover for pick and place and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, the CC0402 is suitable for reflow soldering.

The CC0603 can offer capacitance options from 1.8nH to 330nH and DC currency ratings from 179mA to 1000mA with three different tolerance options (10%, 5%, and 2%). With an operating temperature ranging from -40°C to +125°C, the device is packed a 1.80mm x 1.12mm x 1.02mm package that weighs less than 0.05g.

With a capacitance range of 2.4 to 2200nH and a DC currency range of 140 to 1000mA, the CC0805 is can operate at a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is packed in 2.41mm x 1.78mm x 1.52mm with available tolerance options of 10%, 5%, and 2%. The CC1008 is offered in a 2.92mm x 2.80mm x 2.28mm package with capacitance from 10nH to 4700nH and in DC currency from 220mA to 1000mA; it offers tolerance of 5% and 2% with -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.

All four series ensure low power consumption, high chemical resistance, vibration/shear resistance, electrical and mechanical integrity, and durability during handling. These new inductors can be used in industrial automation & control equipment, instrumentation, medical & diagnostic equipment/ devices, and test & measurement equipment.
