Additional Details

The EZ0-A90XSMD common mode choke is constructed with two identical windings on a single core. This configuration allows it to effectively cancel out common mode currents while allowing differential mode signals to pass through with minimal attenuation. The specific inductance value and rated current will determine the choke's performance characteristics at different frequencies. It is crucial to consult the EPCOS (TDK) datasheet for detailed electrical and mechanical specifications before using this choke in a design. The datasheet will provide information on the impedance characteristics, insertion loss, and other parameters necessary for proper circuit design. The part is designed for reflow soldering processes commonly used in PCB assembly. Correct soldering profile must be followed to avoid damaging the component.
