Hammond 1530B155 15uH Sub-Miniature RF Choke, 250 mA Iron Core

The 1530B155 is a sub-miniature R.F. choke from the Hammond 1530 Series, rated at 15 uH with an inductance tolerance of +/- 10%. It is a mid-range inductance coil for engineers and OEM designers who need a compact inductor for network, filter and delay line circuits, the applications the 1530 Series is intended for.

Performance is specified with L and Q values measured on a Q meter. This part is rated for a minimum Q of 52 at a test frequency of 2.5 MHz, with a minimum Fo of 16 MHz. Maximum DC resistance is 1.92 ohms and the maximum DC current is 250 mA, giving designers a clear current limit when sizing the choke for a supply or bias line.

Construction is a varnish-impregnated coil wound over an iron core. The 1530B155 has a form length of 0.25 in (6 mm) (tolerance +/- 0.03 in) and a maximum coil diameter rating of 0.165, keeping it within the series' subminiature size range of .25" to .63". Shipping weight is 0.1 lbs (0.05 kg).

Key ratings at a glance:

• Inductance: 15 uH, +/- 10%
• Q minimum: 52 at 2.5 MHz
• Fo minimum: 16 MHz
