Richardson RFPD 506WLC ultra-broadband inductor series

Richardson RFPD has been selected by American Technical Ceramics as the globally exclusive distributor for the 506WLC series of ultra-broadband inductors that have been engineered with a powdered iron ferrite core and gold-plated terminations to provide performance beyond 40 GHz.

The inductors are suitable for many applications, including use in transimpedance amplifiers, ultra-broadband DC coupling networks and broadband test equipment.

A characteristic of the devices is their distinctive pyramid shape, which allows the copper wire to be tightly wrapped around its core to provide maximum inductance within the overall dimensions of the inductor.

The passive components have been manufactured to provide ultra-low insertion loss, flat frequency response and a good match over multiple octaves of frequency spectrum.

Features include: values in the series: 2.0, 6, and 11 µH; operating frequency range from 500 KHz to 40+ GHz; low insertion loss of 0.4 dB; ample return loss typically >17 dB; low DC resistance; RoHS compliant.
