DESCRIPTION

CM160808-12NJL is a surface-mount chip inductor from Bourns' CM16 series, featuring a 12 nH inductance value with ±5% tolerance. This 0603-sized component is constructed with a ferrite core, copper wire coil, and epoxy resin encapsulation with tin-plated terminals, providing high resistance to heat, humidity, mechanical shock, and pressure. The inductor exhibits a minimum quality factor (Q) of 10 at 100 MHz test frequency, a self-resonant frequency (SRF) minimum of 2800 MHz, and a maximum DC resistance (RDC) of 0.35 ohm, supporting a maximum DC current (IDC) of 400 mA. It operates reliably across the temperature range of -40°C to +100°C with a maximum temperature rise of 0.20°C and withstands soldering heat at 260°C for 5 seconds. This component is ideal for RF circuits, impedance matching networks, and high-frequency filtering applications in compact surface-mount designs.
