Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official TE Connectivity or Schaffner documentation to ensure compatibility with your circuit requirements. Confirm that the 20A current rating and 2.5mH inductance align with your system's electrical specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a horizontal footprint is required for three-phase or single-phase applications with neutral connections. Ensure the 20A continuous current capacity meets load demands and verify that the 7 mOhm DCR fits within acceptable power loss constraints for the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RT-Series of common mode chokes from Schaffner EMC. These devices are engineered for electromagnetic interference suppression in power electronics. The RT8132 variant specifically addresses high-current applications requiring robust filtering capabilities in compact horizontal packages.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official datasheets for direct substitutes within the RT8132 series. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as inductance tolerance and current ratings before substituting.
