SC-15-D030

Common Mode Chokes Overview

The KEMET SC-15-D030 is a two-line common mode choke designed for through-hole mounting. It provides an inductance of 30 µH at 100 kHz and supports a maximum current rating of 15 A. The component features a low DC resistance (DCR) of 12 mΩ, ensuring minimal power loss in high-current applications. Rated for AC and DC voltages up to 50 V, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C. The unit utilizes a horizontal package with four pins and measures 1.34 inches in diameter by 0.85 inches in height.

Common Mode Chokes Feature Summary

Common Mode Chokes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific inductance test frequency, as datasheets may list values at 100 kHz or 10 kHz depending on the revision. Confirm the voltage rating aligns with system requirements, noting the 50 VAC/DC limit. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout dimensions provided in the mechanical drawings. Check RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence.

Common Mode Chokes Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity is required alongside moderate inductance values. Compare against the SC-15-01H if higher inductance is needed, or the SC-15-E350H for single-line applications. Consider the physical size constraints relative to other SC-series chokes. Evaluate thermal performance based on the 15 A rating and ambient operating conditions.

Common Mode Chokes Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET SC series of common mode chokes, which are engineered for robust performance in power line applications. The series offers various inductance and current ratings to suit different filtering needs. These components are widely used in environments requiring reliable EMI suppression and high current tolerance.

Common Mode Chokes Replacement Considerations

The SC-15-01H serves as a higher inductance alternative within the same series. For single-line applications, the SC-15-E350H may be considered. Verify pin compatibility and physical dimensions before substituting any cross-model generic parts.
