Mini Spring
™
Air Core Inductors
These surface mount air core “spring” inductors provide
extremely high Q over a wide frequency range.
They’re jacketed with a high temperature material that
ensures mechanical stability and very tight tolerance. It
also forms a flat top, making them suitable for automatic
placement and reflow or vapor phase processing. Solder
coated leads ensure reliable soldering.
Coilcraft Mini Spring™ inductors are available in standard
EIA tape and reel packaging: 12 mm for size A, and
16 mm for size B parts.
Coilcraft
Designer’s Kit C102
contains samples of all
5% inductance tolerance parts. Kits with 2% tolerance
are also available. To order, contact Coilcraft or visit
