Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Triad Magnetics documentation to ensure correct electrical characteristics and mechanical form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging specifications directly with authorized distributors prior to ordering. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revisions to avoid discrepancies in pinout or mounting requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when operating frequencies fall between 20 kHz and 200 kHz. Ensure the application requires a solid core design rather than split-core alternatives. Verify that the 100-turn ratio aligns with the system's signal conditioning requirements. Consider the encapsulated toroidal package for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring robust magnetic shielding.
