1538M06

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 1538M06 is a heavy-duty EMI/RFI choke belonging to the 1538 Series. It features an unshielded wirewound design with radial horizontal cylinder packaging. The component provides an inductance of 150 µH and supports a maximum DC current of 4.6 A. Its maximum resistance is specified as 69 mOhm. The unit utilizes high saturation flux density ferrite rods and includes 1-inch tinned leads extending within 1/8 inch of the body.

Feature Summary

• Heavy-duty construction designed for filtering or energy storage applications
• High saturation flux density ferrite rod core material
• Unshielded wirewound configuration with radial horizontal orientation

Applications

• EMI/RFI noise suppression circuits
• DC link chokes in industrial automation systems
• Energy storage inductors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific series designation and physical lead dimensions against official Hammond Manufacturing datasheets prior to integration. Confirm that the unshielded topology aligns with electromagnetic interference requirements for the target assembly. Ensure the 4.6 A current rating meets operational load conditions without exceeding thermal limits defined in the product specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high saturation flux density is required for robust performance in demanding environments. The unshielded design necessitates careful layout planning to manage magnetic field interactions. Verify compatibility with existing PCB mounting structures due to the radial horizontal cylinder form factor and specific lead length constraints.
