Micro Spring
™
Air Core Inductors
The world’s smallest surface mount air core inductors,
these components provide exceptionally high Q over a
wide range of frequencies.
They feature tight inductance tolerance and thermal
stability, which can often eliminate the need for circuit
tuning.
Coilcraft’s Micro Spring™ inductors are tape and reel
packaged and have an acrylic jacket with a flat top,
making them suitable for automatic placement and reflow
or vapor phase processing. The leads are solder coated
to ensure reliable soldering.
Coilcraft
Designer’s Kit C108
contains samples of all
5% inductance tolerance parts. Kits with 2% tolerance
are also available. To order, contact Coilcraft or visit
