EMI noise of electronic equipment can go to the power lines and disturb the proper function of other devices like communication devices or control logic of robotics. Thus noise generated by the equipment from switched power electronics or by high slew rates of controllers needs to be filtered. RT common-mode chokes are used to suppress EMI noise in PCB integrated filter designs with line bypass capacitors or in combination with single phase filters for extra low leakage filter designs. Straightforward pin-out for easy PCB design Nanocrystalline core for high performance at 10 kHz ## **Features and Benefits** **==> picture [363 x 123] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
