TDK offers tiny 0201 inductors for high-frequency circuits

• The smallest size in the industry* in the 0201 size
• Achieves high-frequency characteristics through proprietary patterning and sintering technologies
• Lineup of inductances with fine increments, taking advantage of the features of the multilayer method
• Wide temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) announces the expansion of the MUQ0201022HA series* of high-frequency inductors. The 0201 size (0.25 x 0.125 x 0.2 mm; L x W x T) are the smallest 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.
