In order to address the growing number of RF and wireless applications NIC Components Europe has introduced its NTL series of surface mount thin film inductors. The new high specification inductors complement NIC's existing range of inductive and resistive products, one of the broadest offerings in the market. Housed in ultrasmall, low profile case sizes of 0201, 0402 and 0603 the NTL series has a self resonant frequency (SRF) of up to 10GHz, current rating up to 1.8A, and a high Q-factor across a wide frequency range - up to 52 at 1.5GHz.

Precision tolerances of between +/-0.1nH and +/-2% (depending on specific device) further add to the impressive specification of the NTL series.

The new devices feature an etched copper coil on an alumina substrate.

Wrap around lead-free terminations with a nickel barrier make the NTL series fully compliant with RoHS legislation due to come into force in July 2006.

Typical applications can be found in telecommunications, wireless and high-speed data applications.

The ultraminiature size of the devices makes them especially useful in the growing number of handheld and portable electronic products.

All parts in the NTL series have an operating temperature range of -40 to +125C and are supplied in tape and reel packaging making them suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly.
