The self-resonant frequency (SRF) is a key parameter for high-frequency inductors; consult the Coilcraft datasheet for the SRF of the 0402CS-10NXJE. The DC resistance (DCR) is typically low to minimize power loss. The Coilcraft datasheet for the 0402CS series provides complete technical specifications, including inductance tolerance, Q-factor, SRF, DCR, and current rating.
