The LQW15AN6N8G00D from Murata is a 6.8nH wirewound RF chip inductor with a 2% inductance tolerance, supplied in a 0402 imperial case size, 1005 in metric. It offers a Q factor of 25 measured at 100 megahertz, a DC resistance of 90 milliohms, and a self-resonant frequency of 6 gigahertz. The LQW15AN6N8G00D handles up to 700mA of DC current, is unshielded, and operates from -55°C to 125°C.

Wirewound RF inductors achieve a higher Q factor than multilayer types because the conductor is a discrete wound coil rather than printed traces, which means less loss at radio frequencies. The LQW15AN6N8G00D is used in impedance matching networks, LC filters, oscillator tanks, and bias tees, and as an RF choke feeding DC into a signal line. Its 6 gigahertz self-resonant frequency keeps it inductive across cellular, Wi-Fi, GNSS, and sub-6 5G bands. RF engineers designing front-end modules, antenna matching circuits, transceiver boards, and wireless modules are the primary users.
