196Q2

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 196Q2 is a leaded power inductor, specifically designed as a heavy current choke. It belongs to the 196 series and features parallel winding configurations for specific inductance values. The component offers an inductance of 10mH at a current rating of 4A in parallel mode, and 72mH at 1A in series mode. This design supports robust performance in high-current applications requiring significant impedance control.

Feature Summary

• Heavy current choke capability for demanding power circuits
• Leaded construction for through-hole mounting
• Parallel configuration providing 10mH inductance at 4A
• Series configuration providing 72mH inductance at 1A

Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• EMI suppression in industrial equipment
• High-current DC-DC converter stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific winding configuration required for your circuit design, as the part offers distinct electrical characteristics for parallel versus series connections. Confirm that the leaded package style matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating current does not exceed the rated limits for the selected configuration to maintain reliability and prevent saturation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when heavy current handling is critical. Choose the parallel configuration if higher current capacity (4A) with lower inductance (10mH) is needed. Opt for the series configuration if higher inductance (72mH) at lower current (1A) is sufficient for the application's filtering needs. Verify thermal management requirements based on the expected load current.
