TDK Corporation announced expansion of the MUQ0201022HA series of high-frequency 0201 SMD inductors.
The 0201 size (0.25 x 0.125 x 0.2 mm; L x W x T) are the smallest SMD inductors of their kind in the industry with the same electrical characteristics as the existing MHQ0402PSA series, which is one size larger at 0402 (0.4 x 0.2 mm; L x W).
The lineup covers an inductance from 0.6 nH to 3.6 nH. Mass production of these new components began in May 2025.
As mobile devices such as smartphones and wearable devices become increasingly sophisticated and compact, there is a growing need for small-sized, high-performance components.
By applying its proprietary patterning and sintering technologies, TDK has achieved high-frequency characteristics equivalent to or better than existing products while reducing the component mounting area by around half.
TDK will further expand its line to meet the needs of customers.
Features
- Achieves high-frequency characteristics equivalent to or better than existing products that are one size larger by applying TDK’s own proprietary patterning and sintering technologies
- Maintains the same characteristics while reducing mounting area to around half the size of a 0402 mm inductor
Applications
- Impedance matching for high-frequency front-end modules for mobile devices
- Impedance matching for wearable devices
