P8208NL

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The P8208NL is a surface-mount current sense transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics. It features a 1:100 turns ratio and operates within a frequency range of 50 kHz to 1 MHz. The component has a primary DC resistance of 6 mOhm and a secondary DC resistance of 5.5 Ohms. Inductance is specified at 2 mH (2000 uH). Physical dimensions are 7.21 mm in length, 8.38 mm in width, with a maximum height of 5.5 mm. It utilizes a gull-wing terminal style for board mounting.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Provides precise current measurement through a fixed 1:100 transformation ratio
• Designed for high-frequency operation between 50 kHz and 1 MHz
• Utilizes a surface-mount package with gull-wing terminals for automated assembly

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Current sensing in switching power supplies
• Overcurrent protection circuits
• Industrial control systems requiring isolated current monitoring

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as P8208NLT exist with different packaging configurations like tape and reel or cut tape. Confirm that the standard tray packaging associated with the base part number aligns with your manufacturing equipment capabilities. Ensure the selected variant meets the required moisture sensitivity level and environmental compliance standards for the target application.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-precision current transformer is needed for frequencies up to 1 MHz. The low primary resistance minimizes insertion loss, while the 1:100 ratio provides adequate signal scaling for most sensing applications. Consider the physical footprint of 7.21 x 8.38 mm to ensure compatibility with the PCB layout constraints.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

The P8208NL belongs to the P820X series of SMT current sense transformers from Pulse Electronics. This series is engineered for board-mount applications where space efficiency and electrical isolation are critical. The component serves as a key element in feedback loops and protection mechanisms within modern electronic power conversion architectures.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

The P8208NLT is a related variant within the same product family, distinguished primarily by its packaging format rather than core electrical performance. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting any alternative models from other manufacturers.
