Common Mode Chokes RC series
Current-compensated Chokes
Rated currents from 0.25 to 0.7 A
Approvals & Compliances
DC to 400 Hz frequency
100 kHz to 3 MHz common-mode resonance
frequency
Dual-choke configurations
Multiple PCB-mounting options
RC chokes are attenuating common-mode or
asymmetric (P/N –> E) interference signals, by
being connected in series with the phase and
neutral lines of an AC powerline input. Symmetrical
components of the noise are also attenuated by
the leakage inductance (stray inductance) of the
windings. These chokes are typically used in
conjunction with suppression capacitors.
