Technical Specifications

The BK1608LL181 is a wire-wound inductor, which provides a higher Q-factor compared to other inductor types. The inductor is constructed using a ceramic core and a fine copper wire. The self-resonant frequency is an important parameter for high-frequency applications, as it indicates the frequency at which the inductor's performance starts to degrade. The DC resistance (DCR) is also an important parameter, as it contributes to the overall losses in the circuit. Detailed datasheets are available from Taiyo Yuden, providing comprehensive information on electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and application guidelines. This part is ideal for small wireless applications.
