Bourns announces air coil inductor series

Designed as a low energy loss solution for today’s high frequency applications, Bourns AC1060R, AC2213R, AC3630R, AC4013R and AC6830R Series Air Coil Inductors offer significantly lower inductance values, tight inductance tolerance and operate at higher frequencies.

These new air coil inductors are wire-coil (without magnetic core) constructed, which contributes to substantially lower inductance values for excellent functionality at high frequencies. With high Q values from 87 to 145 and inductances from 1.65 to 538 nanohenries (nH), Bourns Air Coil Inductors are ideal for a broad range of next-generation TV and radio receivers, radio transmitters and RF amplifier and tuning applications. The series’ tight tolerance provides DC resistance from 1.1 to 90 milliohms, up to 4 A maximum rated current and has an operating temperature range from -25 to +125 °C. The air coil inductors also feature an epoxy cover for mechanical stability and to help support pick and place manufacturing automation processes.
