SC-08-700

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-08-700 is a through-hole common mode choke designed for AC line filtering applications. It features an inductance of 7 mH at 1 kHz and supports a maximum current of 8 A with a DC resistance of 40 mΩ. The component operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +105°C and is rated for 250 V. It utilizes a cylindrical core design with a diameter of 50 mm, conforming to RoHS standards.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Provides effective common mode noise suppression for AC power lines
• Supports high current handling up to 8 A with low impedance
• Designed for robust through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• AC line input filtering in power supplies
• EMI suppression in industrial equipment
• Noise reduction in consumer electronics power stages

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for mechanical dimensions and thermal derating curves. Confirm that the 8 A rating aligns with your system's peak load requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check for any specific environmental certifications required by your target market regulations.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high inductance is needed for low-frequency noise attenuation. The 40 mΩ DC resistance minimizes power loss compared to higher resistance alternatives. Consider the 50 mm diameter for adequate spacing in dense assemblies. Evaluate the 250 V rating against your system's peak voltage transients to ensure safety margins.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to KEMET's SC series of common mode chokes, which are engineered for general-purpose EMI filtering. The series offers various inductance values and current ratings to suit different power levels. The SC-08-700 specifically targets applications requiring moderate inductance with high current capacity.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes from KEMET such as other SC series variants with similar inductance and current ratings. Verify compatibility with third-party common mode chokes by matching inductance, current, and physical dimensions. Ensure replacement parts meet the same voltage and temperature specifications.
