PLA10AS1230R6R2B

Commonly used in electronic circuits, common mode chokes (CMC) are designed to block differential mode currents, while allowing common mode currents to flow with minimal losses. The PLA10AS1230R6R2B, manufactured by EPCOS, is a common mode choke designed to join the other products in the Faraday cage range of products by the same company.

With a rated current of 12A, an inductance from 240 to 275μH and a peak current up to 30A, the PLA10AS1230R6R2B is well suited for both conditioning motor and power supply lines. It is also able to keep differential mode currents away, while allowing passing of common mode currents with minimal disturbances.

The PLA10AS1230R6R2B works in both AC and DC power applications, and is designed with a common E-core for mounting to a printed circuit board. With dimensions of 10mm x 18.5mm x 9.5mm and a weight of only 10.4g, the PLA10AS1230R6R2B is small enough to be used in a variety of applications.

The working principle of the PLA10AS1230R6R2B is based on electromagnetic induction. Whenever a voltage is applied to it, a current is induced into the device, producing a magnetic field that helps shield against incoming electromagnetism. This reduces the amount of signal reaching sensitive load, protecting it from possible electrical damage.

The PLA10AS1230R6R2B is well suited for a variety of uses, including automotive and industrial applications. In automotive applications, the device can be used in a range of sensors, actuators, and other electronic components, to filter differential mode currents, while allowing passing of common mode currents. In industrial applications, it is used in motor lines, power supply lines, switch mode power supplies, and a variety of other uses.

Overall, the PLA10AS1230R6R2B is a small yet efficient common mode choke. This device offers a low DC-resistance, high current capacity, and a wide frequency range, making it suitable for a range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and various power applications.
