10HC-68

Overview

The Delevan 10HC-68 is a fixed power inductor designed for through-hole mounting. It features an unshielded drum core construction with a ferrite magnetic core material. The component provides an inductance of 68 µH with a tolerance of ±10%. It supports a maximum rated current of 10 A and a saturation current of 9 A. The DC resistance is specified at a maximum of 27 mΩ. The unit measures 34.93 mm in diameter by 23.80 mm in length.

Feature Summary

• High-current capability suitable for power applications
• Unshielded drum core design for thermal management
• Through-hole axial termination style

Applications

• Power supply filtering circuits
• Choke coils in high-current paths
• Industrial electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the component contains lead and does not meet RoHS standards. Confirm that the specific application environment can accommodate unshielded components to prevent electromagnetic interference. Ensure the PCB layout supports the required through-hole dimensions and current carrying capacity for the 10 A rating.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a high-current, unshielded through-hole inductor is required. Compare against the 10HCR-68 variant if radial horizontal cylindrical packaging is preferred instead of the standard axial configuration. Verify that the 27 mΩ DC resistance aligns with system efficiency requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 10HC series of power inductors manufactured by API Delevan. The series is characterized by robust construction for demanding power electronics environments. The 10HC-68 specifically denotes the 68 µH value within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

The 10HCR-68 is a documented alternative within the same manufacturer family, offering identical electrical specifications but utilizing a radial horizontal cylindrical package format.
