Broadband Conical Inductors
Coilcraft’s conical inductors are designed specifically for
broadband and high frequency applications. This single
component operates as a series of narrow-band induc-
tors throughout an operating frequency range of 10 MHz
to 40 GHz.
These conical inductors are ideal for use in ultra-wide-
band bias T’s. In this application, the conical inductor
provides the path for the DC bias injection or extraction
while isolating the power source from the active device.
The BCL versions are supplied with “flying leads” that
allow adjustment of the mounting angle. Each surface
mount BCS inductor has a self positioning mounting
bracket.
To request evaluation samples, contact Coilcraft.

Packaging:
BCS-802JLC
C
= 7″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape
(BCS-122JL: 500 parts per full reel;
BCS-531JL and BCS-802JL: 300 parts per full reel;
BCS-652JL: 200 parts per full reel).
