Inductor Series Now Offers Higher Current Ratings

Gowanda, NY (USA) – Gowanda Electronics is introducing an expansion of its “CF1008” Surface Mount Inductor Series at the 2003 Wireless Systems Design Conference and Exposition being held in San Jose, California (USA) from February 24 – 27, 2003 (Booth #246). The series expansion offers new-model RF inductors with very low inductance values and very high current ratings. The new models provide inductance values ranging from 0.10 microHenries to 1 microHenry and respond to the need for even-higher current ratings as demanded by new RF applications.

The CF1008 series of surface mount inductors is targeted for use in RF applications in the electronics industry, especially for wireless and portable test & measurement equipment where solderability is a major concern. Other applications include all RF signal circuitry in communications equipment, medical diagnostic equipment and industrial process control equipment. The inductors are also well-suited for use in computers, computer peripherals, security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment.

The “CF” series is based on the company’s successful “CC” series, but the core is ferrite in place of ceramic. Both of these wirewound series are designed with terminations which result in improved solderability and therefore easier/faster assembly, enhanced system performance and greater system reliability. The expansion of the CF1008 series provides the market with inductors that have uniquely high current ratings in the ferrite-core product.

Key to the CF1008 series’ cost-effective performance is Gowanda’s flexibility to adjust the manufacturing processes to peak the performance for a specific usage frequency.
