RV8140-16-S11

Overview

The RV8140-16-S11 is a horizontal mount common mode choke from the Schaffner RV-Series, manufactured by TE Connectivity / Schaffner. It utilizes MnZn core material and features four lines for filtering applications. The component supports a maximum DC current of 16 A with an inductance of 0.9 mH (900 uH) and a tolerance of 1%. Its maximum DC resistance is 1.8 mohms. Designed for PCB mounting via radial through-hole termination, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and has a height of 37.1 mm.

Feature Summary

• Horizontal PCB mount configuration with radial through-hole termination
• MnZn core material construction for effective noise suppression
• Four-line design for comprehensive common mode filtering

Applications

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filtering
• Radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression
• Power line noise reduction in electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number RV8140-16-S11 against official TE Connectivity or Schaffner documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the MnZn core specification and 16 A current rating match your system requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in the official datasheet. Ensure the horizontal mounting style and radial leads are compatible with your PCB layout constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a horizontal form factor is required for space-constrained PCB designs. The 16 A current rating suits moderate power applications requiring significant noise attenuation. The MnZn core offers high permeability for lower frequency noise suppression compared to nanocrystalline alternatives. Verify that the 0.9 mH inductance provides sufficient impedance for your specific EMI spectrum.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Schaffner RV-Series of common mode chokes, designed for robust EMC performance. The series includes various current ratings and core materials, such as nanocrystalline options like the RV8141. The RV8140 variant specifically employs MnZn technology, distinguishing it from other series members. It is part of TE Connectivity's broader portfolio of passive components for industrial and commercial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

The RV8141-16-S11 is a related model within the same series but uses nanocrystalline core material instead of MnZn. Substitution requires verifying if the different core material affects the inductance profile and frequency response for the specific application.
