The 5.5T Air Core Copper Inductor Coil is a precision-wound, wire-hollow (coreless) RF inductor designed for high-frequency resonant circuits, RF tuning, signal filtering, and wireless communications. Constructed using 0.7mm high-purity enameled copper wire with an inner diameter of 3.5mm, this 5.5-turn air-core inductor delivers an ultra-high Quality factor (Q-factor), zero magnetic core saturation, low parasitic capacitance, and stable inductance across wide temperature and frequency ranges. Supplied in a bulk 1000-piece pack, it is ideal for high-volume RF electronics manufacturing, automated PCB assembly lines, FM/VHF transceiver production, and RF prototyping.

Features

• Zero Core Saturation: Air-core geometry completely eliminates magnetic saturation and core hysteresis losses, ensuring linear inductance even under high RF power levels.
• High Quality Factor (Q): Heavy 0.7mm solid copper wire significantly minimizes high-frequency skin-effect losses, providing high selectivity and low signal attenuation.
• Pre-Tinned Solder Leads: Enamel is pre-stripped and leads are pre-tinned for immediate wave soldering or manual through-hole PCB assembly.
• Mechanically Rigid Construction: Sturdy 0.7mm copper wire offers excellent mechanical stability, preventing vibration-induced inductance drift.
• Low Parasitic Capacitance: Open-turn spacing ensures a high self-resonant frequency (SRF) deep into the UHF spectrum.

Common Applications

• FM & VHF Transmitters / Receivers: LC tank tuning, intermediate frequency (IF) filters, and local oscillator circuits.
• RF Power Amplifiers: Impedance matching networks, output low-pass filters, and DC supply RF chokes for VHF/UHF transceivers.
• Wireless Communication Modules: High-frequency filtering and antenna matching in 315MHz, 433MHz, and 868MHz wireless transceivers.
• Low-Pass & Band-Pass Filters: Harmonic suppression and band-selection filters for RF front-end stages.
• RFID & Remote Control Systems: Resonant inductive coupling in telemetry transmitters and keyless entry systems.

Usage Tips

• Manual Fine-Tuning: Circuit resonant frequency can be adjusted by gently compressing the turns together to raise inductance, or expanding the pitch to lower inductance.
• Soldering Precaution: Solder directly to the pre-tinned leads without excessive heat dwell time to prevent enamel burn-back near the active winding.
• Placement & Proximity: Maintain adequate clearance from large ground planes and metal shielding enclosures to prevent parasitic capacitance and eddy-current Q-degradation.
• Mechanical Fixing: In high-vibration environments, secure the inductor body to the PCB surface using a drop of non-conductive electronic-grade silicone or adhesive.
