159R

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 159R is a fixed wirewound inductor designed for general electronic applications. It features an unshielded construction with standard wire leads for through-hole mounting. The component provides an inductance of 6 H and a DC resistance of 150 Ohms. It is rated for a maximum DC current of 200 mA. The unit utilizes a nonstandard physical form factor suitable for specific circuit layouts requiring high inductance in a compact profile.

Feature Summary

• Unshielded wirewound design for minimal magnetic interference
• Standard wire leads for easy through-hole integration
• High inductance value within a compact nonstandard package

Applications

• General-purpose filtering circuits
• DC reactor applications
• Signal conditioning networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lead configuration and physical dimensions against the mechanical drawing before integration, as the nonstandard package may require custom PCB layout adjustments. Confirm that the 200 mA current rating aligns with the operational requirements of the target circuit to prevent saturation or thermal issues during procurement and assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high inductance value is required without the need for magnetic shielding. The unshielded nature makes it suitable for applications where external magnetic fields are not a concern or where the inductor must be positioned away from sensitive components. Ensure the 150 Ohm DC resistance is acceptable for the power budget of the application.

Part Context

This inductor belongs to the category of fixed passive components manufactured by Hammond Manufacturing. It serves as a fundamental building block for analog and power electronics, providing energy storage in magnetic fields. The product line focuses on reliable, standard-performance inductors for industrial and commercial equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6 H inductance, 150 Ohm resistance, and 200 mA current rating. Verify that alternative unshielded wirewound inductors have compatible lead spacing and overall height to fit the existing footprint without modification.
