159ZJ

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 159ZJ is a leaded DC filter choke designed for open channel mounting. It features an inductance of 10 mH with a tolerance of ±15%. The component supports a maximum DC current of 5 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 160 mΩ. It is rated for 500 VDC and utilizes wire leads for termination.

Feature Summary

• Provides DC filtering and reactor functionality within a single component
• Utilizes wire leads for standard connection methods
• Designed for open channel mounting configurations

Applications

• DC power supply filtering
• Choke applications in electronic circuits
• Current limiting in DC systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific inductance value and current rating against project requirements, as Hammond offers variants with different specifications such as 300 mH or 1 A ratings. Confirm that the open channel mount style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the target assembly. Ensure the 500 VDC rating meets the system voltage needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 10 mH inductance and 5 A current capacity are required for DC filtering. The unshielded design may necessitate careful placement to minimize electromagnetic interference with nearby components. Consider the physical dimensions and lead length for proper integration into the circuit board or chassis layout.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing series of power inductors and DC reactors. It is part of a broader range of industrial-grade passive components designed for robust performance in various electronic applications. The manufacturer provides detailed datasheets for technical verification.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond models from the same series with matching electrical parameters. Verify compatibility with existing mounting structures and lead configurations before replacement.
