Throughout March customers of Rapid Electronics will have the chance to take advantage of special offers and discount pricing on the company's extensive range of electronic components. Leading the promotion as featured products are nine new ranges of surface mount chip inductors from Fastron. Rapid recently became Fastron's first UK distributor, and after strong sales of the brand's leaded inductors and suppression coils Rapid are delighted to expand their Fastron portfolio.

Featuring gold flash pad metallisation for better solderability, Fastron's SMT wire wound chip inductors ensure a higher yield in production applications, such as LC resonant circuits, impedance matching, circuit isolation and RF filters. With a wide range of values and low profile surface mount construction, they are available in small quantities or bulk reels of 600, 800, 2000, 2500 or 4000.

Sample kits are available for each range, featuring 10 items of each line. The range serial numbers are 0603 AS, 0805 AS, 0805 F, 1008 AS, 1008 F, 1206 AS, 1206 F, 1210 F and 1812 AF.

Rapid now offer nearly 450 Fastron products, including a wide selection of axially-leaded inductors and suppression coils, suitable for decoupling, interference suppression, RF blocking and filtering.

Every item in the inductor range is made of ferrite material, has high Q values, a tolerance of between 5-10%, and operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.

The ferrite-based suppression coils run on high rated current, feature low DC resistance, a tolerance of 20% and operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
