HCTC-8-5.6

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The HCTC-8-5.6 is a high-current toroidal common mode choke manufactured by Signal Transformer (Bel). It features through-hole mounting and is designed for two-line applications. The component exhibits an inductance of 8 mH at 1 kHz and supports a current rating of 5.6 A with a DC resistance of 55 mOhm. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to 105°C. Physical dimensions include a maximum length of 34.29 mm and depth of 1.35 mm, with a height of 0.815 mm.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• High-current toroidal design for robust performance
• Through-hole construction for secure PCB attachment
• Two-line configuration for effective noise suppression

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• EMI suppression in AC/DC converters
• Signal integrity protection in electronic circuits

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sources list both Signal Transformer and Bel Signal Transformer. Confirm RoHS compliance status, noting references to ROHS3. Ensure the package type matches requirements, as some listings indicate tray packaging while others describe it as a kit accessory. Cross-reference datasheets for exact dimensional tolerances before finalizing procurement.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling up to 5.6 A is required alongside significant common mode noise reduction. The 8 mH inductance provides substantial impedance at 1 kHz. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface mount options are unsuitable. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 105°C maximum operating temperature limit.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the HCTC series of high-current toroidal chokes. It is categorized under common mode chokes and filters within the broader signal transformer product line. The series is known for providing reliable EMI filtering in power electronics applications requiring durable magnetic components.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8 mH, 5.6 A common mode chokes from manufacturers like Pulse Electronics or Murata. Ensure equivalent DCR and physical footprint compatibility. Verify that alternative parts meet the same temperature and current ratings.
