AxxT/BxxT Series

Mini Spring™ Air Core Inductors

RoHS compliant AEC-Q flag
Our AxxT/BxxT Series Mini Spring™ air core inductors have extremely high Q factors and very tight inductance tolerances, making them suitable for narrowband RF amplifier matching and tuning applications. As their name implies, air-core inductors do not use a magnetic core, resulting in their high Q and the lowest possible losses for high-frequency applications. High-reliability versions are available for space, military, and other critical applications.
 
  • Inductance values from 2.5 nH to 43 nH (tolerances as low as 2%)
  • Tight tolerance can eliminate circuit tuning
  • Flat top for mechanical stability and reliable pick and place operations
  • Exceptionally high Q over a wide frequency range
  • Highest possible self resonance (greater than 12.5 GHz)
  • Solder coated leads ensure reliable soldering
  • AEC-Q200 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C)

Notes
  1. When ordering, please specify tolerancetermination and packaging codes: e.g. B10TJLC
  2. Inductance measured at 150 MHz with an Agilent/HP 4286 or equivalent, a Coilcraft SMD-A and correlation pieces.
  3. Tolerances in bold are stocked for immediate shipment.
  4. Q measured at 150 MHz using an Agilent/HP 4291A with an Agilent/HP 16193A test fixture or equivalent.
  5. SRF tested on an Agilent/HP 8720D or equivalent and a Coilcraft SMD-D fixture.
  6. DCR tested on the Cambridge Technology Model Micro-ohmmeter or equivalent. For other operating temperatures, use this DCR at Temperature calculator.
  7. Current that causes a 15°C temperature rise from 25°C ambient.

Tolerance:

  • = 1%, = 2%, = 5%, = 10% (Table above shows stock tolerances in bold.)

Termination:

  • L = RoHS compliant tin-silver (96.5/3.5) over copper.
  • T = RoHS tin-silver-copper (95.5/4/0.5) over copper. (Special order, added cost)
  • S = non-RoHS tin-lead (63/37) over copper. (Special order, added cost)

Packaging:

  • C = 7″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape, 700 (AxxT) or 500 (BxxT) parts per full reel. Quantities less than full reel available: in tape (not machine ready) or with leader and trailer ($25 charge).
  • D = 13″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape. Factory order only, not stocked, 2500 (AxxT) or 2200 (BxxT) parts per full reel.
  • B = Less than full reel. In an effort to simplify our part numbering system, Coilcraft is eliminating the need for multiple packaging codes. When ordering, simply change the last letter of your part number from B to C.
