An inductor for use as a passive electronic component. The inductor has a hollow ceramic tube, a metal target rod located inside the hollow ceramic tube, a coil wound on the outside of the hollow ceramic tube and including a first end and a second end, and a first terminal engaging the first end of the coil and a second terminal engaging the second end of the coil. The metal target rod is fixed relative to the coil at a position so that the inductor has a zero temperature coefficient. Also provided is an LC resonant circuit including the inductor.
