36541E12NJTDG – TE CONNECTIVITY

Overview

The TE Connectivity 36541E12NJTDG is a high-frequency wire-wound SMD inductor designed for precise impedance matching and filtering in compact electronic circuits. Its primary function is to store energy in a magnetic field, offering a nominal inductance of 12 nH with a tight 5% tolerance, critical for maintaining signal integrity in sensitive RF paths. A key design consideration for such small-value inductors is the trade-off between low DC resistance for efficient current handling (1.2A Idc) and minimizing parasitic capacitance, which can limit its effective operating frequency; the 36541E12NJTDG achieves a respectable 4.4 GHz self-resonant frequency (SRF) within its 0402 package.
