10HC-5

Overview

The Delevan 10HC-5 is a fixed power inductor designed for high-current applications. It features an unshielded drum core construction with radial, horizontal cylinder packaging. The component provides an inductance of 5 µH with a tolerance of ±10%. It supports a maximum DC current of 10 A and has a maximum DC resistance (DCR) of 10 mΩ. The unit utilizes leaded termination for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• High current handling capability suitable for power filtering
• Unshielded wirewound design for specific magnetic field requirements
• Radial horizontal cylinder package for standard through-hole integration

Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• DC-DC converter output chokes
• High current signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the product line may not meet current environmental directives. Confirm that the unshielded construction aligns with EMI/EMC requirements for the target assembly. Ensure the radial footprint matches the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity up to 10 A is required alongside low inductance values around 5 µH. The low DCR minimizes power loss in high-current paths. Consider the unshielded nature for thermal management and magnetic interference sensitivity relative to nearby components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 10HC series of high-current filter chokes manufactured by API Delevan. The series is characterized by robust wirewound construction designed for demanding power electronics environments. It serves as a specialized passive component within the broader category of fixed inductors and coils.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Delevan 10HC variants such as 10HC-10 or 10HC-50 for different inductance values. Verify mechanical dimensions and pin spacing compatibility if substituting with generic high-current radial inductors from other manufacturers.
