SMD inductors

High-Frequency Surface-Mount Multi-Layer Ceramic Chip Inductors

The AIML-C series of fixed surface-mount inductors delivers superior performance for modern high-frequency applications where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Engineered with advanced ceramic-integrated construction, these SMD inductors meet EIA standards for dimensional consistency and offer exceptional thermal resilience across a broad operating range—from -40°C to +85°C—making them ideal for harsh environmental conditions in industrial and consumer electronics.

Key Features

These compact, lead-free components ensure consistent electrical behavior under reflow soldering processes without frequency degradation—an essential trait for automated PCB assembly lines. The design guarantees stable self-resonant frequency (SRF) performance even at elevated temperatures, enabling reliable operation in high-speed digital circuits and RF modules. Each variant maintains tight tolerance on physical dimensions, which is critical for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and miniaturized board layouts.

Detailed Description

Available in four standardized sizes—AIML0201C, AIML0402C, AIML0603C, and AIML0805C—the AIML-C series offers inductance values from 0.6 µH to 470 µH, supporting current ratings between 50 mA and 600 mA. These multi-layer ceramic chip inductors provide excellent Q factor performance across their specified frequency bands, making them suitable for filtering, impedance matching, and power conditioning in next-generation communication devices. Their small footprint and precise smd inductor dimensions allow efficient use of space on densely packed printed circuit boards, while the robust ceramic structure enhances mechanical stability during handling and thermal cycling.

Applications

Engineers designing 5G wireless modules, Wi-Fi transceivers, or IoT edge devices benefit from the consistent smd inductor dimensions and low parasitic effects that minimize signal distortion. High-frequency analog circuits, such as those found in computer networking hardware and automotive radar systems, leverage the fixed inductor’s thermal stability and EMI shielding capabilities. Additionally, mobile base station equipment relies on these surface-mount inductors for maintaining signal integrity and reducing noise in sensitive RF front-ends, ensuring long-term operational reliability in demanding telecom environments.
