Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with KEMET or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 10 A current rating aligns with your thermal management design. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Check for any specific packaging variations or ordering suffixes that may affect availability or mechanical dimensions.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity and moderate inductance are required for AC line filtering. The 1 mH value offers a balance between attenuation and size. Consider the 20 milliohm DCR for efficiency-critical designs. The wide temperature range makes it suitable for demanding industrial or automotive-grade applications where standard commercial parts might fail.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

The SC-10-100 belongs to KEMET's SC series of standard type coils. This series focuses on providing reliable common mode chokes for general-purpose EMI suppression. The product line emphasizes durability and consistent electrical performance across various environmental conditions, serving as a foundational component for power integrity in electronic systems.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Consult official KEMET documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-referencing requires matching inductance, current rating, and physical dimensions. Do not assume compatibility based solely on similar specifications without verifying manufacturer approval.
