HX5026NL

Overview

The HX5026NL is a single-channel LAN transformer module manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for surface-mount technology applications. It supports 1000 Base-T Ethernet standards and features an inductance of 350 µH with a turns ratio of 1:1. The component operates within a frequency range of 1 MHz to 100 MHz and provides an insulation voltage of 4 kV. Physical dimensions are 18.16 mm in length, 12.19 mm in width, and 6.60 mm in height. It is packaged in tubes and complies with RoHS3 specifications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high isolation capabilities suitable for demanding network environments
• Engineered specifically for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Base-T) signal integrity
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount form factor for automated assembly

Applications

• Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards
• Industrial communication equipment requiring high isolation
• Consumer networking hardware such as routers and switches

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision prior to ordering, as electrical characteristics may vary between updates. Confirm that the 4 kV insulation rating aligns with your system's safety requirements. Ensure the tube packaging format is compatible with your pick-and-place equipment. Cross-reference the mechanical footprint against your PCB layout to guarantee proper fitment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel solution is required for 1000 Base-T applications. Compare it against dual-channel alternatives like the HX5020NLT if multiple ports are needed. Consider the 4 kV isolation level relative to other models offering lower ratings. Evaluate the physical size constraints against larger modules like the H5062NL.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HX series of audio and signal transformers from Pulse Electronics. It falls under the LAN Transformers subcategory, distinct from general-purpose power transformers. The series includes various channel configurations and isolation levels tailored for different Ethernet speeds and industrial standards.

Replacement Considerations

The HX5020NLT serves as a dual-channel alternative for similar applications. Verify compatibility with the H5062NL if single-channel usage is acceptable but different thermal or dimensional constraints apply.
