Air Core RF Inductors AL Series GENERAL DESCRIPTION AVX Air Core RF Inductors, part of the wound air core inductor family, are ideal for RF circuits, broadband I/O filtering, frequency selection, or impedance matching. The air core inductor provides better performance over solid core inductors with higher Q, and better current handling capabilities. FEATURES APPLICATIONS Air Core Construction RF Applications High Q RF Circuits High Current Broadband I/O Filtering Excellent SRF Impedance Matching/Tuning Many inductance values ranging Decoupling/Bypassing from 1.65nH to 538nH HOW TO ORDER AL 05A 02N5 G T R Air Core Inductor Size Inductance Tolerance Termination Packaging Size 02N5 = 2.5nH G = 2% T = Sn/Ag over Cu R = 7 reel 05A = 0605 12N5 = 12.5nH J = 5% (96.5% Sn, 3% Ag, S = 13 reel* 05B = 0605 130N = 130nH K = 10% 0.5% Cu) *AL016 & AL023 Only 12A = 1212 12B = 1212 016 = 1516 023 = 2523 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Technical Data All technical data related to an ambient temperature of +25C Inductance Range 1.65nH to 538nH Inductance Tolerance 2%, 5%, 10% Rated Current 1.5A to 4.0A Operating Temperature -40C to +125C Termination 96.5% Tin/3% Silver over 0.5% Copper 1Air Core RF Inductors AL Series ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Inductance Tolerance Q Q Test Freq.
