Main Applications
D-core chokes are ideal to comply with the strictest EMC requirements for switch mode power supply applications. In filtering circuits, their usage will contribute to the stability of the device’s working condition. This performance can be reached by higher inductance values than comparable components on a U-core basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are common mode chokes used for?
A common mode choke in the EMI filtering circuit, helps to achieve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), suppressing the conducted noise in all types of power transmission and power lines.
Why is there typically no marking for the winding direction (polarity) marked on common mode chokes? Is the assembly direction and alignment important for the operation?
The mounting direction does not impact the operating characteristics of common mode chokes.
Do common mode chokes produce heat?
Yes, they are emitting heat under operation. The generated power is calculated by the standard power equation: I² x R. R is the DC resistance and I the applied DC current, respectively the translated RMS value for an AC current. CM chokes are designed to suppress high-frequency noise, therefore, no significant HF losses are introduced into the core or winding, which contributes to the heat generation.
What is the difference between common-mode and differential-mode chokes?
Common-mode chokes suppress noise flowing in the same direction in all lines, differential-mode chokes work with signals or noise flowing in opposite directions in a pair of lines.
What is the difference between a ring core choke and a D core choke?
The main difference is that D-core chokes use a bobbin with separated winding chambers (2-sections per winding), allowing higher resonance frequencies to be reached. Typically, these chokes achieve higher pulse durability in addition.
Is it possible to apply more than its specified rated current, even for a short period of time?
Even though it depends on the magnitude and time period in which the current is applied, the warranty of our products doesn´t cover the usage with a higher rated current at the specific ambient temperature.
What is the meaning of Rated Temperature and how is it specified?
The rated temperature (TR) is defined by industrial standards as the maximum ambient temperature at which an inductor can carry its rated current (IR). If the ambient temperature in the application is higher than the rated temperature, derating should be considered to ensure safe operation.
