Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Pulse Electronics or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the AEC-Q200 qualification aligns with your specific automotive application requirements. Ensure the surface-mount footprint dimensions match your PCB layout constraints. Check for any lead time variations as standard lead times may fluctuate based on manufacturing schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing PLC circuits requiring robust isolation and automotive certification. The 1:1:2 ratio and 7µH inductance are critical for impedance matching in specified communication bands. Consider the SMT form factor for space-constrained designs. Validate that the 3MHz–30MHz operational range covers your target signal frequencies without significant attenuation.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to the BM62x series from Pulse Electronics, specifically engineered for PLC applications.
