Additional Details

The 0603N3R9C500LT has an inductance value of 3.9nH. The 'C' in the part number typically indicates the inductance tolerance, which is usually ±0.2nH or ±0.5nH, but the specific datasheet must be consulted to verify. The '500' likely refers to the self-resonant frequency (SRF) in MHz or a related characteristic frequency. It is crucial to consult the official datasheet for complete electrical specifications including Q factor, SRF, DCR (DC resistance), and rated current.
