196B50

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 196B50 is a heavy current chassis mount choke inductor designed for DC reactor and filter applications. It belongs to the 195-196 Series. Key electrical parameters include an inductance of 0.5mH at 50A when connected in series, and 0.125mH at 100A when connected in parallel. The component features a resistance of 0.018 Ohms per winding.

Feature Summary

• Designed for heavy current DC reactor and filtering applications
• Supports both series and parallel connection configurations
• Chassis mount construction for industrial integration

Applications

• DC power supply filtering
• Heavy current industrial equipment
• Chassis mounted rectifier circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 196B50 to confirm exact tolerance and thermal ratings. Ensure the selected configuration (series or parallel) matches the circuit design requirements for inductance and current handling. Confirm compatibility with existing chassis mounting hardware.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required DC current rating and inductance value. Compare series versus parallel connection options to achieve the desired impedance characteristics. Verify that the physical dimensions fit the available chassis space and that the terminal type suits the wiring method.

Part Context

This part is part of Hammond Manufacturing's heavy current chassis mount inductor line. It is distinct from their enclosure accessories, such as the 1421N4BB50 hardware kit. The 196B50 serves as a passive electronic component for power conditioning rather than mechanical support.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Hammond 195-196 series. Evaluate other manufacturers' heavy current chokes with matching 0.5mH/50A or 0.125mH/100A specifications. Ensure equivalent resistance and physical footprint before substitution.
