Hammond 1530B334 330uH Sub-Miniature RF Choke, 103 mA Iron Core

The 1530B334 is a sub-miniature R.F. choke from the Hammond 1530 Series, rated at 330 uH with an inductance tolerance of +/- 5%. 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 41 at a test frequency of 0.79 MHz, with a minimum Fo of 2 MHz. Maximum DC resistance is 13.9 ohms and the maximum DC current is 103 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 1530B334 has a form length of 0.25 in (6 mm) (tolerance +/- 0.03 in) and a maximum coil diameter rating of 0.175, 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: 330 uH, +/- 5%
• Q minimum: 41 at 0.79 MHz
• Fo minimum: 2 MHz
