ED101-1.5-5M0

Overview

The ED101-1.5-5M0 is a current-compensated common mode choke from the Schaffner ED101 series, designed for power line filtering in lighting applications. It features a vertical through-hole mounting style with a ferrite core and unshielded construction. Key electrical parameters include an inductance of 5 mH at 10 kHz, a maximum DC current rating of 1.5 A, and a maximum DC resistance of 400 mOhms. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and has physical dimensions of 14 mm x 24 mm x 15.3 mm.

Feature Summary

• Combines common mode and significant differential mode inductance in a single component to reduce PCB footprint and component count.
• Current-compensated design improves power factor and reduces the requirement for X1/X2 capacitors in LED driver circuits.
• Utilizes a ferrite core for effective electromagnetic interference suppression in switching mode power supplies.

Applications

• Power supply driven LED drivers
• Electronic ballasts
• Output filters for switching mode power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Schaffner documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required 5 mH inductance and 1.5 A current rating. Check RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet before integration. Ensure the vertical through-hole package fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both common mode noise suppression and differential mode filtering are required in space-constrained designs. The current-compensated architecture allows for reduced capacitor usage compared to standard chokes. Verify that the 1.5 A saturation current meets the application's peak load requirements and that the operating temperature range covers the environmental conditions.
