Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the SC-10-18J to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact mechanical dimensions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration, as variations may exist between standard trays and bulk options. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any recent design changes or lifecycle notifications.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.6 mH inductance at 10 A is required for common mode noise reduction. The low DC resistance minimizes power loss in high-current paths. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +120°C range and that the physical footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the SC-J series of common mode chokes from KEMET. These components are engineered for robust performance in AC line filter applications. The series offers various inductance and current ratings to suit different power levels while maintaining consistent mounting styles and core materials for predictable EMI suppression characteristics.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical 1.6 mH inductance and 10 A rating. Verify pin compatibility and thermal limits before substitution.
