Common-mode inductors for use with AC-DC and DC-DC converters with limited space offered by Pico
Dec. 30, 2014
PELHAM, N.Y., 30 Dec. 2014. Pico Electronics in Pelham, N.Y., is introducing the HCM series common mode inductors for use with AC-DC and DC-DC converters with limited space, and where the need for common mode noise reduction is required.
This series of power electronics inductors are capable of carrying high current in a small footprint. The HCM series has inductance to 400 microhenries and current capability to 20 amps.
The inductors are made with a high micro core for a decrease in the number of turns for a given inductance and an increase in the wire size. The core also has a high Curie temperature.
The HCM series has 1500VRMS hi-pot and is designed to function in temperatures from -55 to 130 degrees Celsius (ambient + temperature rise). These units are manufactured to MIL-PRF-27, Grade 5, Class S and have MSL3.
