4426 and 4426R Series Air-Core RF Inductors

Delevan's air core surface-mount inductor is specifically tailored to meet the exacting demands of high-reliability applications. The 4426 and 4426R RF inductors are the premier choice for high-frequency and high-Q projects. Within the realm of applications where optimal performance at high-frequency ranges and minimal core losses are paramount, the 4426 and 4426R series emerge as an excellent option.

The 4426 series inductors leverage an air core design, affording them a competitive edge in handling a broader spectrum of frequencies with enhanced efficiency. Magnetic core inductors, in contrast, battle with eddy current losses and hysteresis in high-frequency scenarios, shortcomings that the 4426 and 4426R series deftly overcome. Furthermore, the absence of a magnetic core ensures these series face no risk of magnetic saturation, rendering them particularly well-suited for applications grappling with concerns over high magnetic flux levels.

The lightweight and compact nature of the 4426 series adds another layer of appeal, making them the go-to solution for applications requiring a featherweight component on their circuit boards. Eschewing the additional weight of a magnetic core, these inductors emerge as a transformative choice for projects prioritizing weight efficiency without compromising on performance.

The 4426 series not only excels in performance but also offers unparalleled tunability and customization due to its air-core construction. Delevan takes customization to the next level by providing a diverse range of precision-turned 4426 parts, ensuring that engineers and designers have the flexibility to fine-tune these inductors to meet the unique demands of their projects.

To cater to different assembly preferences, Delevan has thoughtfully designed the 4426 series to be available in two variants: with and without a flat cap top. The flat cap top components seamlessly integrate into automated assembly processes, streamlining production, while those without the cap offer manual assembly options, catering to a spectrum of manufacturing requirements.

In addition to the outstanding technical features, the 4426R series prioritizes environmental responsibility by being a RoHS/REACH complaint. The 4426R series aligns seamlessly with global environmental regulations, restricting the use of hazardous substances in the electronic component. This compliance underscores Delevan’s commitment to sustainability, making the 4426R series not only a high-performance choice but also a responsible one, meeting the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
