SC-08-100

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-08-100 is a through-hole common mode choke designed for AC line filtering applications. It features an inductance of 1 mH at 100 kHz and supports a maximum DC current of 8 A. The component has a low direct current resistance (DCR) of 0.025 Ohms and is rated for 250 VAC. This two-line filter utilizes a horizontal mounting style with leaded terminations, suitable for robust power supply input stages requiring effective noise suppression.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Provides common mode noise attenuation for AC power lines
• Supports high current loads up to 8 A
• Utilizes through-hole construction for secure mechanical attachment

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• AC power supply input filtering
• EMI suppression in mains-powered equipment
• Noise reduction in industrial control systems

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number SC-08-100 against official KEMET documentation to confirm specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts regarding lead spacing and mounting orientation. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by specific regulatory standards. Confirm that the 8 A current rating meets the operational requirements of the target circuit design.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling capability is required alongside effective common mode noise suppression. The 1 mH inductance value provides significant impedance at standard EMI frequencies. Consider the physical dimensions and through-hole mounting requirements during the layout phase. Evaluate the low DCR to minimize power loss and heat generation in high-current paths.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context
