Additional Details

The 1206CS-821XGEC has an inductance value of 820 nH with a specified tolerance. The self-resonant frequency (SRF) is a critical parameter to consider when designing with this inductor. It is important to choose an inductor with an SRF that is significantly higher than the operating frequency of the circuit. The DC resistance (DCR) of the inductor affects its power handling capability. The rated current is the maximum current that the inductor can handle without significant performance degradation. Consult the datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, temperature specifications, and application notes. Proper board layout and grounding techniques are crucial for minimizing losses and maximizing performance. The datasheet provides recommendations for these aspects as well.
