When ordering, please specify **packaging** code: **XAL5020-222MEC** - **Packaging: C** = 7″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape (1000 parts per full reel). - **B** = Less than full reel. In tape, but not machine ready. To have a leader and trailer added ($25 charge), use code letter C instead. - **D** = 13″ machine-ready reel. EIA-481 embossed plastic tape. Factory order only, not stocked (3500 parts per full reel). 2. Inductance tested at 100 kHz, 0.1 Vrms, 0 Adc. 3. DCR measured on a micro-ohmmeter. 4. SRF measured using an Agilent/HP 4395A or equivalent. 5. DC current at which the inductance drops 30% from its value without current. 6. Current that causes the specified temperature rise from 25°C ambient. 7. Electrical specifications at 25°C.
