Additional Details

The Yageo CL201212T-100K-M-N chip inductor is constructed using a multilayer ceramic process, which allows for high inductance values in a small package size. The high self-resonant frequency (SRF) ensures that the inductor operates efficiently at high frequencies without significant losses. The high Q factor indicates low energy dissipation, making it suitable for filter and impedance matching applications. Surface mount technology simplifies the assembly process and reduces manufacturing costs. These inductors are designed to meet RoHS compliance, ensuring that they are environmentally friendly. Consult the official datasheet for exact specifications, including rated current, DC resistance, and operating temperature range. The “M” and “N” designators after the inductance value are specific to Yageo’s internal manufacturing and packaging processes.
