RT8132-16-3M0

Overview

The RT8132-16-3M0 is a horizontal three-line common mode choke from the Schaffner RT-Series, designed for PCB through-hole mounting. It features a 3 mH inductance at 100 kHz with a maximum DC current rating of 16 A and a typical DC resistance of 8 mOhms. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a copper core. Unshielded construction supports AC/DC filtering applications.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal three-line configuration for efficient PCB layout
• Current compensated design for high-power handling
• Copper core material for stable magnetic performance

Applications

• Electric vehicle charging systems
• Industrial power supply filtering
• Medical device EMC compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the RT8132-16-3M0 to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact pinout dimensions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required lead frame finish. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm thermal management requirements align with the 125°C maximum operating temperature specification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-phase or three-wire common mode filter is required for currents up to 16 A. The 3 mH inductance value targets specific EMI suppression frequencies at 100 kHz. Verify that the horizontal form factor fits the available board space. Compare the 8 mOhm DCR against system efficiency requirements to ensure acceptable voltage drop under load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Schaffner RT-Series of common mode chokes, which are engineered for robust electromagnetic interference suppression in demanding environments. The series offers various current ratings and inductance values to suit different power levels. TE Connectivity acquired Schaffner, integrating these components into their broader EMC portfolio for industrial and automotive markets.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references such as 822794-SF if available in official substitution lists. Verify that any substitute maintains the 3 mH inductance and 16 A current rating. Ensure the replacement part supports the same horizontal PCB mounting style and through-hole termination type.
