SCF-01-5000

Overview

The KEMET SCF-01-5000 is a through-hole common mode choke from the SC series, designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It features an inductance of 50 mH and supports a maximum DC current of 1 A. The component exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 390 milliohms. It operates within a temperature range of -25 °C to +60 °C. Physical dimensions are 15 mm in length, 12 mm in depth, and 15 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides common mode noise attenuation via dual-line filtering architecture
• Utilizes radial leaded termination for standard printed circuit board mounting
• Constructed with a compact rectangular housing suitable for space-constrained layouts

Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• General electronic equipment EMI suppression
• Signal line noise reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating temperature requirements against the documented -25 °C to +60 °C range before integration. Confirm that the 1 A current rating aligns with the application's peak load conditions. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the 15 x 12 x 15 mm footprint. Cross-reference the datasheet for any updates regarding material compliance or manufacturing changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when moderate inductance is required for low-current applications. The 390 milliohm DC resistance minimizes voltage drop in series configurations. Consider the thermal limitations if ambient temperatures exceed the specified maximum. Evaluate physical size constraints relative to the 15 mm height profile during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the KEMET SC series of common mode chokes. The series offers various inductance values tailored for different noise suppression needs. The SCF-01-5000 specifically targets applications requiring 50 mH performance at lower current levels compared to higher-rated counterparts in the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official KEMET documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume interchangeability based solely on inductance values. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
