SC-15-100

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-15-100 is a single-channel common mode filter designed for PCB mounting via through-hole termination. It provides an inductance of 1 mH with a maximum DC resistance of 0.012 ohms and supports a maximum DC current of 15 A. Rated for 250 V, the component operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +105°C.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Provides effective attenuation of common mode noise on AC power lines
• Supports high current loads up to 15 A for robust performance
• Designed for reliable operation in demanding thermal environments

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• AC line filtering in industrial equipment
• Power supply input stages
• Electromagnetic interference suppression in electronic assemblies

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the package dimensions and pinout match your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits to maintain component integrity and performance standards.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 mH inductance value is required for common mode noise reduction at 15 A. The low DC resistance minimizes power loss compared to higher resistance alternatives. Consider the physical size constraints as the through-hole package requires specific board real estate. Verify voltage ratings align with the system's peak line voltages.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET SC series of common mode chokes. These components are engineered for AC line filtering applications where significant current handling and noise suppression are critical. The series offers various inductance values to suit different filtering needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics across the product line.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same series offering identical 1 mH inductance and 15 A current rating. Verify that alternative parts match the 0.012 ohm DCR and 250 V rating. Ensure physical footprint compatibility if space is constrained.
