SCF25-08-1300

Overview

The KEMET SCF25-08-1300 is a through-hole common mode choke from the SCF series, designed for AC line filtering. It features a vertical mounting style with no base and utilizes a proprietary ferrite core. The component provides an inductance of 13 mH and supports a maximum DC current rating of 8 A. Its maximum DC resistance is specified at 0.018 ohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C.

Feature Summary

• Proprietary ferrite core design for effective noise suppression
• Vertical through-hole mounting configuration without base
• High current handling capability suitable for power lines

Applications

• Audiovisual equipment
• Office equipment
• Power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturer documentation may update electrical tolerances or mechanical dimensions over time. Confirm that the vertical through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -40°C to +120°C range to maintain performance integrity and prevent thermal degradation of the ferrite material during continuous operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity is required alongside significant common mode noise attenuation. The 13 mH inductance offers strong filtering for lower frequency interference compared to smaller variants. Consider the vertical profile for assembly constraints. Compare against other SCF series parts if different current ratings or inductance values better suit the specific circuit topology and space limitations of the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET SCF series of standard AC line filters. These coils are engineered for general-purpose noise suppression in various electronic systems. The series offers multiple sizes and specifications to accommodate diverse application needs while maintaining consistent quality standards for electromagnetic interference reduction in commercial and industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other KEMET SCF series chokes with similar 13 mH inductance and 8 A current ratings, such as the SCF25-08-1300 equivalents. Verify mechanical compatibility and electrical parameters before swapping with components from other manufacturers to ensure signal integrity and safety compliance.
