PLC-002

Pulse Transformers Overview

The PLC-002 is a signal transformer designed for HomePlug Green PHY™ power line communication (PLC) modems. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and weighs approximately 2 grams. The component functions as a pulse transformer with an inductance of 10µH and a 1:1 turns ratio, suitable for surface mount applications.

Pulse Transformers Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for HomePlug Green PHY™ PLC modem signal integrity
• Operates reliably across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C
• Compact surface mount form factor with low mass

Pulse Transformers Applications

• HomePlug Green PHY™ power line communication systems
• Smart grid communication interfaces
• Industrial automation PLC networks

Pulse Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturer documentation may reference this part under different series identifiers or packaging codes. Confirm that the intended application aligns strictly with HomePlug Green PHY specifications rather than general LAN pulse transformer requirements, as impedance and isolation characteristics are specialized for power line environments.

Pulse Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring compliance with HomePlug Green PHY standards. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the specified surface mount footprint. Consider the wide operating temperature range if the device will be deployed in harsh automotive or outdoor industrial environments where standard commercial grade components would fail.

Pulse Transformers Part Context

Premo S.L. specializes in electronic components for enabling technologies. This transformer is distinct from their fiber optic polarization controllers, which share similar model numbering conventions but serve optical networking applications. It is categorized alongside other LAN pulse transformers like the PLC-LW-002, though it is optimized for power line rather than copper Ethernet signaling.

Pulse Transformers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineers should consult the manufacturer directly for qualified alternatives that meet identical HomePlug Green PHY electrical specifications.
