DKCV-1: Current-compensated chokes for vertical PCB mounting

SCHURTER introduces a new, vertically mountable choke family for printed circuit boards with very high inductances. The DKCV-1 current-compensated chokes are designed for currents from 0.5 to 10 A. Thanks to their nanocrystalline cores, the new chokes have very high inductances with particularly compact dimensions.

Powerful applications in the energy sector are becoming increasingly compact. This compact design combined with high energy efficiency leads to an increase in electromagnetic interference in modern electronic devices. To suppress this interference, powerful filter elements are required. Due to the compact dimensions, the integration of the filter elements on printed circuit boards is an ideal solution. The new DKCV-1 choke is particularly suitable for applications that require high damping.

High performance in a compact design
The nanocrystalline cores enable very high currents at extremely compact dimensions. Thanks to the vertical choke arrangement, they also take up very little space on the printed circuit board. All variants of the DKCV-1 family have the same footprint on the printed circuit board.

Applications
The new chokes are ideal for demanding applications that require high inductance with compact dimensions. These include switching power supplies, industrial, medical, laboratory and test equipment. The chokes are suitable for currents up to 10 A and voltages up to 300 VAC or 450 VDC and have ENEC, cUR and UR approvals.
For higher power applications, the DKIV-1 series of chokes is available with rated currents up to 50 A.
