SC-15-230

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-15-230 is a through-hole common mode choke filter designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It features an inductance of 2.3 mH and supports a DC current rating of 15 A with a maximum DC resistance of 0.013 ohms. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and utilizes proprietary ferrite materials suitable for frequencies greater than or equal to 150 kHz.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

• Utilizes proprietary 5H, 7H, and 10H ferrite materials for effective noise attenuation
• Engineered for operation in frequency ranges starting at 150 kHz
• Provides high current handling capability with low series resistance

Common Mode Chokes Applications

• Electromagnetic interference filtering in power supply circuits
• Noise suppression in industrial equipment requiring high current capacity
• Common mode noise reduction in AC/DC conversion stages

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ferrite material grade (5H, 7H, or 10H) required for your target frequency band, as performance varies across these variants. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style and physical dimensions align with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current handling up to 15 A is required alongside significant inductance for common mode noise rejection. The low DC resistance minimizes power loss in high-current paths. Consider the physical size and through-hole requirement during the design phase to ensure compatibility with assembly processes.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This component belongs to KEMET's SC series of common mode chokes, which are characterized by their robust construction and suitability for demanding power electronics applications. The series offers various sizes and specifications to address different inductance and current requirements while maintaining consistent performance standards.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other KEMET SC series parts with matching inductance and current ratings but different ferrite grades. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as inductance, DC resistance, and saturation current before substitution.
