Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a common mode choke?
Its primary function is to suppress common-mode electromagnetic interference (EMI) by providing high impedance to unwanted noise currents flowing in the same direction on a pair of lines, while offering low impedance to the desired differential signal.
How do I select the right impedance value for my application?
Selection depends on the frequency spectrum of the noise you need to suppress. The SQD4520 series offers a range from 60Ω to 1400Ω (Typ @100MHz). Higher impedance provides greater attenuation at the test frequency. Refer to your circuit's noise profile and EMC standards.
What does the rated current parameter signify?
The rated current is the maximum continuous current the choke can handle without exceeding its thermal or performance specifications. It's crucial to ensure the choke's current rating meets or exceeds the normal operating current of your circuit.
Are these chokes suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and robust construction, they are well-suited for various automotive electronic systems where reliable EMI filtering is required.
