Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -RC) against the datasheet to confirm packaging type such as cut tape or reel. Ensure the inductance tolerance and current ratings match the circuit requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by the manufacturing process. Check for any recent PCN updates that may affect material composition or shipping details.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling is required alongside moderate inductance values. The compact footprint suits space-constrained designs. Compare with other series members like PM3700-20 or PM3700-70 if different inductance levels are needed. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the environmental conditions of the final application.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the Bourns PM3700 series of SMD common mode chokes. The series offers various inductance options ranging from low microhenries to high millihenries. These components are designed for power line and data line applications requiring effective EMI suppression in a small surface-mount package.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Check Bourns documentation for direct substitutes within the PM3700 series with adjusted inductance values. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
