DR221-113AE

Common Mode Chokes are electronic components used to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) by filtering out common mode signals from a circuit or system. They are most commonly used in commercial and residential installations to reduce the amount of electrical noise in a circuit and provide power protection. The DR221-113AE, a common mode choke from EPCOS, is designed for use in high frequency circuits, such as switches, and provides a significant amount of common mode filtering capability.

The DR221-113AE works by providing both inductive and capacitive interference suppression. This is achieved by using a combination of a ferrite core and an airflow coil. The ferrite core increases the inductance, which in turn reduces the impedance of the choke and gives it a higher frequency response. The airflow coil is designed to be able to dissipate heat quickly, thus preventing the coil from overheating. The combination of the two components allows the choke to act as a high pass filter, filtering out low frequency signals from the system.

In terms of its application field, the DR221-113AE is most commonly used in switch mode power supplies, where the switch must be opened and closed as fast as possible in order to maintain the desired output current. Due to the higher switching frequencies required for this kind of application, the DR221-113AE is ideal for providing a high frequency filtering solution. It also provides an additional layer of power protection, reducing the amount of noise and interference that is present in the power circuit.

The DR221-113AE can also be used in a variety of other applications, such as in motor controllers, audio amplifiers and communications systems. It is also commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, where it offers high frequency filtering capability. In addition to providing interference suppression, the DR221-113AE also prevents spikes and surges in the system, thus helping to prevent unnecessary damage to sensitive components, as well as ensuring optimal system performance.

Overall, the DR221-113AE is a reliable and effective solution for providing power protection and filtering out unwanted signals in high frequency circuits. Its combination of inductive and capacitive interference suppression allows it to effectively filter out low frequency signals, while its airflow coil and ferrite core prevent potential damage from spikes and surges. This makes it a great choice for a wide range of commercial and residential applications.
