Inductors Offer Tighter Tolerances

Claiming to have the narrowest tolerance figures of any inductors currently on the market, the LQP15M series inductors promise precise inductance and impedance matching. The components feature a ±0.05 nH tolerance compared to the current industry standard of ±0.3 nH. Available in a 0402 size measuring 1 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.35 mm, the inductors employ an ultra-high accuracy coil based on photo-lithographic technology, a process said to produce an accurate coil pattern and a more precise inductance level. Available in small inductance steps from 0.1 nH to 3.9 nH, sample price for the LQP15M series is $0.08 cents each with lead times of eight weeks. MURATA ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICA INC., Smyrna, GA.
