Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two low-profile common-mode chokes for high-current automotive, energy, and industrial applications.
The ICMS2321-10 and automotive-grade ICMS2321-1A are available in surface-mount and through-hole packages and support heat-rated currents up to 30 A.
For electric vehicles (EVs), common-mode chokes can be used to suppress electromagnetic interference in power-electronic systems. The AEC-Q200-qualified ICMS2321-1A is specifically suited for automotive onboard chargers, while the devices can also be used in dc/dc converters, high-voltage inverters, EMI filters, and motor-control circuitry.
The chokes provide a 1500-Vdc dielectric withstand voltage between coils. Their low-profile construction reduces component size and volume while supporting resistance to shock and vibration, and an enhanced core design is intended to maintain performance and saturation current at operating temperatures up to 150° C.
Both devices feature a self-shielded construction and are available with customizable inductance, impedance, dc resistance, and current ratings. Surface-mount versions are offered in tape-and-reel packaging and are compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly.
The ICMS2321-10 and ICMS2321-1A are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
