The **CC02-R10K-RC** is a surface-mount (SMD) power inductor commonly manufactured by companies like Allied Components International. It belongs to the CC02 series and is designed for high-frequency power circuits. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the component: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Inductance** | 0.1 µH (100 nH) | | **Tolerance** | ±10% (K) | | **Case Size** | 0402 (Metric 1005) | | **Material** | Ceramic Core / Multilayer | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +125°C | | **RoHS Compliant** | Yes (RC suffix) | --- ### Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in identifying the specific attributes of the component: 1. **CC02**: Represents the series and the physical package size (0402). 2. **R10**: Denotes the inductance value. "R" acts as a decimal point, meaning 0.10. 3. **K**: Indicates the tolerance level (±10%). 4. **RC**: Stands for RoHS Compliant, indicating lead-free manufacturing. --- ### Key Features and Applications #### Features * **Miniature Size**: The 0402 footprint is ideal for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. * **High Q Factor**: Provides low loss and high efficiency at high frequencies. * **SRF (Self-Resonant Frequency)**: Typically high, making it suitable for RF applications. #### Common Applications * **Mobile Communication**: Used in smartphones and tablets for signal filtering. * **RF Circuits**: Matching networks and decoupling in high-frequency wireless modules. * **Power Management**: Small-scale DC-DC converters and voltage regulator modules (VRMs). * **Consumer Electronics**: Wearables, IoT devices, and Bluetooth modules. --- ### Usage Precautions * **Current Rating**: Ensure the peak circuit current does not exceed the rated saturation current ($I_{sat}$) to avoid a drop in inductance. * **Thermal Management**: Though rated for up to 125°C, proximity to high-heat components (like CPUs) may require derating the current.
