Hammond 1537F 20uH 12.5A High Current Ferrite Core RF Choke

The 1537F is a high current R.F. choke from the 1537 Series, specified at 20 uH with a tight +/-5% tolerance and a maximum DC current of 12.5 A. The part page describes it as an RF choke, heavy duty hash choke, suited to designers who need a leaded choke with a defined minimum Q.

Its nearest inductance neighbours in the series are the 1537E below it (10 uH, 20 A) and the 1537G above it (30 uH, 8 A), so the 1537F fills the 20 uH step at 12.5 A.

Key electrical values for the 1537F: DC resistance of 0.013 ohms and a minimum Q of 6.5, with inductance tested at 1 kHz. The large ferrite core provides an extended saturation point, and the series lists an optimum frequency range of .01-2 MHz.
