Common Mode Chokes

A common mode choke, also known as a line filter, is a type of filter used to suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) from power cables and signal lines. Common mode chokes can also be used in other applications such as RF amplifiers, where they act as an impedance match. Common mode chokes are often found in audio and video equipment, power supplies, and computer components.

MCZ0605AH350SDT000 Application Field

The MCZ0605AH350SDT000 is a snap-on type common mode choke that is used to reduce EMI and noise in various applications. It is designed to be used with 12V DC, 24V AC, and 48V AC power supplies. The device has an operating temperature range of -40° to +105°C and a frequency range of 0-350 MHz. It also features a high-current rating of 25A and a maximum inductance of 0.95mH.

MCZ0605AH350SDT000 Working Principle

Common mode chokes work by providing a low-impedance path for common mode currents, which are those that flow between lines of a same polarity, while simultaneously blocking differential mode currents, which are those where the lines are of opposite polarity. They do this by coupling two separate windings around a core made from either a ferrite or other magnetic material, such as a powdered iron core. This creates an inductive reactance, which impedes the current. The amount of inductive reactance can be controlled by varying the number of turns in each winding, which affects the total inductance of the device.

The MCZ0605AH350SDT000 operates by providing a low impedance path to common mode currents while simultaneously blocking the majority of differential mode currents. This allows the device to effectively reduce EMI and electrical noise. Additionally, its high current rating ensures that it can handle large currents without saturating the core.
