The PCA164CY-432RCT5 is a common mode choke manufactured by TT Electronics. Common mode chokes are used to suppress common mode noise in electronic circuits. Common mode noise is unwanted electrical noise that appears equally on both signal lines with respect to ground. This choke is designed to filter out this noise, improving signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Applications

• USB Interfaces
• CAN Bus Systems
• Ethernet Connections
• Power Line Filtering
• Data Communication Lines

Features

• High Common Mode Impedance: Provides effective suppression of common mode noise.
• Low Differential Mode Impedance: Minimizes signal distortion.
• Compact Size: Allows for easy integration into small spaces.
• High Current Capacity: Handles significant current loads without saturation.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for use in various environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Environmentally friendly.

Benefits

• Improved Signal Integrity: Reduces noise and interference for cleaner signals.
• Reduced EMI: Minimizes electromagnetic radiation, helping to meet regulatory requirements.
• Enhanced System Reliability: Protects sensitive components from noise-induced damage.
• Easy to Implement: Simple design for easy integration into existing circuits.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of applications.

Technical Specifications
