12GHz Multilayer Inductors:

We offer multilayer inductors with inductance from 0.15nH to 330mH, and self-resonant frequencies from 1MHz to 20GHz.An integrated multilayer-type inductor structure is formed by layering ceramic materials and a coil conductor. This enables a smaller size and lower cost compared to wire wound types.While the Q factor is lower than that of the wire wound structure, the multilayer structure provides good overall balance between the L value deviation, rated current, size, price, and other characteristics, enabling use in a wide range of applications.The multilayer structure is suitable for various applications such as RF circuit matching, choke, and resonance for mobile communication equipment.

Examples of our multilayer inductor product ranges
