AVX has developed a multilayer organic RF inductor in a 0402 case size that offers tight tolerance in a small footprint. Providing high Q and high self-resonance, the RoHS-compliant MLO 0402 series inductor features an inductance range of 1 nH to 32 nH.
Based on patented multilayer low-loss organic (MLO) technology, the manufacturer claims the inductor represents a paradigm shift from traditional ceramic and thin film passive SMD components. Since copper organic inductors (COIs) are polymer-based and use high conductivity copper interconnects in a multilayer fashion, the ability to fabricate these components on large area substrates and in laser-direct imaging allow for improved cost and tolerance control.
The low-profile component also offers high SRF (self-resonant frequency) and can support frequencies well above 1 GHz. The devices are expansion matched to printed circuit boards, allowing for improved reliability. They are well suited for RF power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, filter networks and MRI systems. They can operate between -55°C and 125°C and offer a 100% tin finish.
