H1601CG

Overview

The H1601CG is a single-port LAN pulse transformer designed for 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet applications. It features a 350µH inductance and a 1CT:1CT turns ratio, providing electrical isolation with a 1.5kV rating. The component utilizes a surface-mount SOIC-16 package with a 7.2mm body width. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality.

Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation for Ethernet signal transmission
• Optimized for 10/100 BASE-T data rates
• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly

Applications

• Ethernet PHY interface circuits
• Network interface cards
• Industrial communication modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Mentech Technology USA Inc. or Dongguan Mentech Optical & Magnetic. Confirm the SOIC-16-7.2mm package dimensions match PCB footprints. Ensure the 350µH inductance specification meets circuit requirements. Check that PoE is not required, as this model lacks support.

Selection Notes

Select this component for standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet links requiring compact surface-mount isolation. It is unsuitable for Gigabit speeds or PoE applications. Verify thermal limits against operating environment constraints. Compare pinout compatibility with existing transformer designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LAN pulse transformer category, specifically engineered for copper-based Ethernet physical layer interfaces. It serves as a critical isolation component between the MAC controller and the RJ45 connector, ensuring signal integrity and safety compliance in network hardware.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching 1CT:1CT ratio, 350µH inductance, and SOIC-16 footprint specifications.
