15HC-50

Overview

The Delevan 15HC-50 is a leaded power inductor from the HC Series, featuring a ferrite core and unshielded drum construction. It provides an inductance of 50 µH with a 10% tolerance. The component supports a maximum DC current of 15 A and has a maximum DC resistance of 20 mΩ. It utilizes radial horizontal cylinder packaging with a lead spacing of 28.58 mm.

Feature Summary

• High-current capability for moderate to high-power applications
• Unshielded wirewound design on a ferrite core
• Radial through-hole mounting configuration

Applications

• Power supply filtering
• Choke circuits
• General power electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as manufacturer documentation may vary. Confirm that the radial horizontal package style matches the PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 15 A current rating and 50 µH inductance align with the circuit design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust high-current handling in a leaded format. The unshielded design requires consideration for magnetic interference placement. Verify that the 28.58 mm lead spacing fits the target board footprint and that the open cylindrical structure accommodates available clearance.

Part Context

The 15HC-50 belongs to the API Delevan HC Series of ferrite core power inductors. This series includes various inductance values ranging from microhenries to millihenries, designed for high-current power applications. The product falls under the broader category of leaded power inductors and chokes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other HC Series part numbers such as 15HC-100 or 15HC-27 if different inductance values are required while maintaining the same current and package characteristics.
