### 1008CP-R24: Technical Overview The **1008CP-R24** is a specific type of **Surface Mount (SMD) Wirewound Chip Inductor**. It is part of a series designed for high-frequency applications where high "Q" (Quality factor) and tight tolerances are required. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the 1008CP-R24: | Parameter | Value / Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | SMD Wirewound Inductor | | **Case Size** | 1008 (2.5 mm x 2.0 mm) | | **Inductance** | 0.24 µH (240 nH) | | **Tolerance** | Usually ±5% (J) or ±10% (K) | | **Core Material** | Ceramic (High frequency) | | **SRF (Self-Resonant Frequency)** | Typically > 500 MHz | | **DCR (DC Resistance)** | Very low (approx. 0.40 - 0.70 Ω) | | **Maximum Current** | Approx. 450 mA - 600 mA | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The part number usually follows a specific nomenclature that describes its physical and electrical properties: 1. **1008**: Represents the **EIA Size Code** (0.10 inches by 0.08 inches). 2. **CP**: Series designation (often indicating a specific high-performance or ceramic-core series). 3. **R24**: The **Inductance Value**. * "R" acts as the decimal point in microhenries (µH). * **R24 = 0.24 µH.** * (Alternatively, if it were 241, it would be 240 nH). --- ### 3. Application Areas These inductors are commonly used in circuits where signal integrity and high frequency are critical: * **RF Transceivers:** Used in matching networks and filters for wireless communication. * **Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Modules:** For signal tuning and noise suppression. * **High-speed Data Lines:** To provide impedance matching. * **Oscillators:** Serving as a reactive component in resonant circuits. --- ### 4. Advantages of Wirewound Ceramic Inductors * **High Q Factor:** Wirewound construction offers much lower resistance at high frequencies compared to multilayer inductors, resulting in better efficiency. * **High SRF:** The ceramic core allows the inductor to maintain its inductive properties into very high frequency ranges before becoming capacitive. * **Current Handling:** Generally handles higher currents than multilayer equivalents of the same size. ---
