ACM2520-301-2P

Common mode chokes, also known as line filters, are electrical components used in power, digital and analogue electronic circuits. They filter out common-mode as well as differential-mode interference. The ACM2520-301-2P is a common mode choke designed for use in AC power systems. It is designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications, specifically those that require low leakage inductance and consistent inductance performance.

Applications

The ACM2520-301-2P is designed for use in a wide variety of applications where line noise and interference must be kept to a minimum. These applications include AC power systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) systems, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) systems, and industrial equipment. The ACM2520-301-2P can also be used in consumer electronics applications such as audio and video equipment, cell phones, and gaming systems.

Features

The ACM2520-301-2P features an operating frequency of between 40kHz and 1000 kHz, and a leakage inductance of less than 0.5 µH. It is also designed with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, and is offered in a variety of package options, including dual-in-line, single-in-line, and dual-in-line with pins. The ACM2520-301-2P has a molded body to minimize EMI, RFI, and other types of unwanted noise. Additionally, it features high common-mode suppression and excellent filtering.

Working Principle

The ACM2520-301-2P common mode choke works by cutting out noise in the form of common mode and differential mode signals. Essentially, it blocks interference signals from entering or leaving a circuit. Common mode signals are signals that flow in the same direction through both lines of a circuit, while differential mode signals flow in opposite directions across a circuit. The ACM2520-301-2P is designed to block both types of signals, but it is most effective at blocking common mode signals, reducing them to a negligible level.

The ACM2520-301-2P is comprised of two windings, one on each line. Each winding is designed to block noise on a specific lead. So, when a noise signal passes through the choke, it is blocked and diverted away from the circuit. This reduces the noise on the line and helps ensure a stable power flow to the circuit.

Conclusion

The ACM2520-301-2P common mode choke is a versatile and reliable choke designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications. It is designed to reduce noise and improve the performance of power, digital, and analogue electronic systems. The ACM2520-301-2P works by blocking noise signals and redirecting them away from the circuit, which in turn, helps protect the circuit from interference.
