Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RC against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm reel packaging specifications. Ensure the 5 mH inductance tolerance and 2 A current rating align with the circuit design requirements. Confirm the 70 mOhm DCR limit does not exceed thermal constraints. Check RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high inductance is required for common mode noise attenuation in space-constrained applications. The 17.78 x 17.78 mm footprint accommodates standard SMT processes. Evaluate the 2 A current rating against peak load conditions to prevent saturation. Consider the -55°C to +125°C operating range for environmental suitability in industrial or automotive contexts.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the Bourns PM3700 series of surface-mount common mode chokes. The series offers various inductance values and current ratings. The PM3700-60-RC specifically provides 5 mH inductance. It is designed for compact electronic designs requiring effective electromagnetic interference suppression.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with PM3700-50-RC for lower inductance (2 mH) or PM3700-20-RC for higher current (6 A) and lower inductance (500 µH). Verify pinout compatibility and footprint dimensions before substitution.
