159Y

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 159Y is a DC filter choke, classified as an open channel mount power inductor. It features wire leads for termination and operates with an inductance of 300 mH and a tolerance of 15%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 1 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 6 ohms. It is unshielded and designed for chassis mounting. Physical dimensions include a length of 102.362 mm, width of 57.15 mm, and height of 66.802 mm.

Feature Summary

• Open channel construction for easy winding or integration
• Wire lead termination for direct circuit connection
• Unshielded design suitable for non-critical magnetic environments

Applications

• DC reactor applications
• Filter choke circuits
• Chassis mounted power filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific inductance value and current rating against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target circuit requirements. Confirm that the unshielded nature does not interfere with nearby sensitive components. Ensure the wire lead style matches the PCB or chassis mounting configuration required for the assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 300 mH inductance with 1 A current capacity is required for DC filtering. Consider the physical size constraints due to its open channel structure. Verify that the 6 ohm DC resistance is acceptable for the voltage drop in the application. Compare against shielded alternatives if electromagnetic interference is a concern.

Part Context

The 159Y belongs to the broader category of power inductors and chokes manufactured by Hammond Manufacturing. It is distinct from their enclosure products, such as the 1590 series, which are diecast aluminum boxes. This part is specifically engineered for electrical filtering rather than housing electronic components.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult the manufacturer's catalog for equivalent inductance and current ratings.
