Additional Details:

The 0402CS-13NXJE has an inductance value of 13 nH. The Self-Resonant Frequency (SRF) is a critical parameter, indicating the frequency at which the inductor's performance degrades. The DC resistance (DCR) is low, contributing to the high Q-factor. It is designed for reflow soldering. Refer to the Coilcraft datasheet for specific reflow soldering profiles. This inductor is often used in impedance matching networks to optimize signal transfer between different circuit stages. Its small size makes it suitable for dense circuit board layouts. The construction allows for good current handling capabilities despite its small footprint. Always consult the manufacturer's datasheet for the most accurate and up-to-date specifications and application notes.
