Air Core RF Inductors AL Series

Air Core RF Inductors
AL Series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AVX Air Core RF Inductors, part of the wound air core inductor family, are
ideal for RF circuits, broadband I/O filtering, frequency selection, or
impedance matching. The air core inductor provides better performance
over solid core inductors with higher Q, and better current handling
capabilities.
