HX0068ANL

Overview

The HX0068ANL is a single-channel LAN transformer module manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for surface-mount assembly. It supports 100BaseTX Ethernet applications without Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. The component operates within a frequency range of 100 kHz to 100 MHz and provides an isolation voltage of 1.5 kV. Key electrical specifications include an inductance of 350 µH and a 1:1 turns ratio. It functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C. Physical dimensions are 12.7 mm in length, 9.652 mm in width, and 2.083 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides electrical circuit isolation compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards for signal integrity
• Optimized for integration with major LAN transceivers in compact SMD form factors
• Features unshielded construction suitable for non-PoE network interfaces

Applications

• 10/100 Mbps PC Card network interfaces
• Single-port 100BaseTX Ethernet connections
• LAN transceiver interface modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ANLT' against official datasheets to confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type, as distributors may list variations like 'HX0068ANL'. Confirm that the application strictly excludes PoE requirements, as this model is specified for non-PoE use only. Ensure PCB footprint matches the 12.7 mm x 9.652 mm dimensions before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing single-port Ethernet circuits requiring galvanic isolation without power delivery constraints. The 1.5 kV isolation rating suits standard industrial and commercial networking environments. Consider the 100 kHz to 100 MHz bandwidth for typical Fast Ethernet signaling needs. The surface-mount package facilitates automated assembly processes for high-volume manufacturing.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HX series of LAN discrete transformer modules from Pulse Electronics. These modules are engineered to maintain signal integrity while meeting strict electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The series offers various configurations for different Ethernet speeds and port counts, with this specific unit targeting cost-effective 100BaseTX implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other HX series variants such as HX0068BNLT for potential pin-compatible alternatives if PoE support is required later. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting with generic LAN transformers from other manufacturers.
