Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has launched the LQW15DN series of ultra-compact 0402 inductors (measuring just 1.0 × 0.5 mm) with a high inductance value of 15μH, specifically designed for use in advanced communication devices like smartphones. This product was officially put into mass production in September 2017, marking a significant milestone in the miniaturization of RF components.
As smartphones and other wireless devices continue to evolve, there is an increasing demand for multi-functional and multi-mode capabilities. This has placed higher demands on inductor components, especially those used in RF antenna tuning circuits and Bluetooth modules. These inductors must not only be smaller but also offer larger inductance values to support more complex circuit designs and improve performance.
The LQW15DN series successfully combines advanced materials and innovative design techniques to achieve a 15μH inductance within an ultra-small 0402 package. This breakthrough allows for more compact and efficient circuit layouts, helping manufacturers meet the growing need for space-saving, high-performance components in modern mobile devices.
In addition to its impressive size and inductance, this inductor also offers excellent electrical characteristics, including low DC resistance and high Q-factor, which are essential for maintaining signal integrity and energy efficiency in high-frequency applications. As a result, the LQW15DN series is becoming a preferred choice for designers aiming to optimize both performance and form factor in next-generation communication systems.
