A new series of commercial-of-the-shelf surface mount inductors is designed to provide a cost-effective alternative military specification product.

Gowanda Electronics is now offering a series of commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) surface mount inductors, which is planned to provide a cost-effective alternative Mil Spec (military specification) products.

This SMRF 1010 series is exclusively designed for applications in military communication, such as space, satellite, radio and global positioning systems, as well as in crystal oscillators and wireless networks where Mil Spec products have traditionally been used due to the lack of commercial equivalents.

These inductors are targets for RF applications requiring wire bond or surface mount inductors that cover around gold-plated terminations on a ceramic base.

The inductors offer design engineers a COTS surface mount equivalent for MIL-C-83446/4 inductors.

The SMRF sequence features inductance from 0.12 to 27uH and current rating from 880 to 120mA.

Applications include RF signal circuitry in communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, medical diagnostic equipment and industrial development equipment.

Further applications include use in telecommunications, navigation equipment, networking, and other computer peripherals, as well as in security systems, instrumentation, barcode and laboratory analysis equipment, aviation equipment, navigation equipment, electronic test equipment and cable TV.
