• Designed specifically for electric vehicle charging systems
• Vertical PCB mount configuration with through-hole termination

Applications

• Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official TE Connectivity/Schaffner documentation to confirm pinout and mechanical compatibility. Confirm that the nanocrystalline core specifications align with your thermal management requirements. Ensure the 40 A current rating meets system peak loads. Cross-reference the 3.1 mH inductance value with circuit simulation models. Validate compliance with relevant industry standards such as IEC 60938-1/-2 and UL 1446 before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling up to 40 A is required in a compact vertical form factor. The nanocrystalline core offers superior performance compared to traditional ferrite cores for specific frequency ranges. Consider the 1.1 mOhm DCR for efficiency calculations in power paths. The wide operating temperature range ensures reliability in demanding automotive environments. Verify space constraints against the 60x27x59.7 mm footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RV8541 series of common mode chokes manufactured by TE Connectivity under the Schaffner brand. The series is characterized by its use of nanocrystalline materials and is tailored for high-current applications in the electric mobility sector. The RV8541-40-S06 variant specifically denotes the 40 A current rating and S06 packaging/termination style within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

RV8541-40-S16 is a documented alternative within the same series offering similar electrical characteristics but potentially different mechanical mounting or lead configurations. Verify dimensional compatibility and terminal type before substitution.
