CMT908-V3-B

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The Triad Magnetics CMT908-V3-B is a vertical mount, two-line common mode choke designed for through-hole installation. It features an inductance of 8 mH measured at a test frequency of 10 kHz. The component supports a maximum DC current rating of 3.2 A and exhibits a maximum DC resistance (DCR) of 120 mOhm. These specifications define its electrical performance characteristics for noise suppression applications.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Provides common mode noise filtering for dual-line circuits
• Designed for vertical mounting on printed circuit boards
• Utilizes through-hole termination for secure mechanical attachment

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• Power line EMI suppression
• Signal integrity protection in electronic assemblies
• Noise reduction in industrial equipment power inputs

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix to confirm packaging configuration, as variations may exist within the series. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding vertical height constraints. Confirm that the 3.2 A current rating meets the specific operational requirements of the target circuit without saturation. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure parameter consistency.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current common mode choke is required for vertical PCB integration. The 8 mH inductance offers significant attenuation for common mode interference. Verify that the 120 mOhm DCR aligns with system efficiency targets. Consider the physical dimensions for clearance in dense assembly environments.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This component belongs to the CMT series of common mode chokes from Triad Magnetics. The series provides various inductance values and current ratings for different filtering needs. The CMT908-V3-B specifically addresses applications requiring higher current handling capabilities compared to lower-rated variants in the same family.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the CMT908-V3 variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but may differ in packaging or bulk handling characteristics. Verify pinout and dimensional compatibility before substitution.
