1. When ordering, please specify packaging code:
CU8838-ALD
Packaging:D
=13″ machine-ready reel. EIA‑481 embossed plastic
tape (800 parts per full reel).
B=Less than full reel. In tape, but not machine ready.
To have a leader and trailer added ($25 charge), use
code letter D instead.
2. Inductance measured at 100 kHz, 0.1 Vrms, 0 Adc using a Coilcraft
SMD­‑A fixture in an Agilent/HP 4284A LCR meter.
3. SRF measured using an Agilent/HP4291A impedance analyzer and a
Coilcraft 16193 fixture.
4. DC current at which the inductance drops the specified amount from its
value without current.
5. Current that causes the specified temperature rise from 25°C ambient.
6. Electrical specifications at 25°C.
Refer to Doc 362 “Soldering Surface Mount Components” before soldering.
