10 mm Tunable Coils–142, 143, 144 Series
These Coilcraft variable inductors are precision molded
in plastic to ensure constant winding pitch and a consistent relationship to the printed circuit board.
Extremely economical, even in small quantities, the
coils come in standard inductance values from 0.05 µH
to 1.5 µH. 144 Series parts are also available with a tap
to meet specific requirements.
Tuning is done by means of a threaded powdered iron
core with a hex socket for easy, positive adjustment.
Plated brass shield cans with solderable tabs are optional.
These parts can be odered without cores for use as
fixed inductors.
Coilcraft Designer’s Kit M302 contains samples of all
standard 10 mm and 7 mm tunable inductors. To order,
contact Coilcraft or visit http://order.coilcraft.com to
purchase on-line.

1. To order fixed inductance parts
without cores, eliminate the “J08” or
“J12”, e.g. 144-01L or 144-01SL.
2. Inductance and Q readings taken
on Boonton 260-A Q meter with
16 AWG tinned copper 1/2″ long
soldered along leads and bent at
90° 1/4″ down from standoffs.
All inductance values greater
than 0.1 µH read at recommended
Q meter frequency; those below
0.1 µH calculated from readings
taken at 50 MHz.
3. L min measured with core halfway
out top of form.
4. Q min measured at L nom at
40 MHz.
5. Average current for a 40°C rise
above 25°C ambient.
6. Core material: Carbonyl J
Core length: 142 Series - 1/4″
143, 144 Series - 3/8″
7. Taps available on 144 series parts
at 1/8, 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8 turn increments.
8. Operating temperature range
−40°C to +85°C.
9. Electrical specifications at 25°C.
