I found a schematic online of a 433mhz receiver which I am trying to replicate. 1 component is an inductor 16.6nh smd. However because I cannot find that exact value I was thinking to use an inductor with similar value 16nh.

Would it work or not?

Adding 2 in series, sum 16.6nH or the double in parallel(33.2nH and 33.2nH) will work. Thanks everyone.

    \$\begingroup\$ Tip: 'H' for henry as defined in SI standards. Also 'Hz' for hertz in your question. SI units named after a person have their symbols capitalised but are lowercase when spelled out. 'V' for volt, 'A' for ampere, 'K' for kelvin, 'Ω' (capital omega) for ohm, etc. Meanwhile 'k' is for kilo. Capitals matter! \$\endgroup\$
