SC-10-30J

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-10-30J is a through-hole common mode filter choke from the SC-J series, designed for AC line filtering applications. It features an inductance of 3 mH (3000 uH) and supports a maximum DC current of 10 A with a maximum DC resistance of 30 mΩ. The component operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +45°C and is rated for 250 V. Its physical dimensions are 34 mm in length, 24 mm in width, and 33 mm in height, with a nominal lead spacing of 18 mm.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Provides common mode noise suppression for AC power lines
• Utilizes ferrite core material for effective filtering performance
• Designed for PCB mounting via through-hole termination

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• AC line input filtering
• Power supply noise reduction
• Electromagnetic interference suppression in electronic equipment

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating temperature requirements against the component's +45°C maximum limit. Confirm that the 10 A current rating meets the application's peak load demands. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 34 x 24 x 33 mm footprint and 18 mm lead spacing. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by the final product specifications.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 mH inductance at 10 A is required for common mode noise attenuation. Consider the compact through-hole package for standard PCB assembly processes. Evaluate the thermal constraints due to the limited upper operating temperature of +45°C compared to higher-rated industrial components.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

The SC-10-30J belongs to KEMET's SC-J series of AC line filters. This series offers various inductance and current ratings for different power levels. The component is manufactured by KEMET Corporation and is identified by the Mouser part number 80-SC-10-30J.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other SC-J series parts like SC-05-100JV or SC-18-085J for different current/inductance needs. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical fit before substituting with generic common mode chokes.
