The 1538M04 is an EMI/RFI choke from the 1538 Series, providing 50 uH (+/-10%) with a maximum DC current of 5.6 A. Built on a high saturation flux density ferrite rod, the series is described as ideal for filtering or energy storage inductors, for engineers specifying EMI/RFI chokes in power and signal designs.
Electrical ratings for the 1538M04 are a maximum DC resistance of 0.04 ohms and a self-resonant frequency of 3.44 MHz. Inductance is measured at 1 kHz with 0 A DC current, and the typical inductance change is less than 5% at twice rated current.
The 1538 series offers 50 uH in several current ratings. Alongside the 1538M04 at 5.6 A there are higher-current 50 uH versions (1538M11 at 8 A, 1538M18 at 10.5 A, 1538M24 at 15 A), so check the current your circuit will carry when selecting between them.
Physical size follows the series drawing dimensions: Dim. A 0.88 in (22 mm) maximum, Dim. B 0.81 in (21 mm) maximum, Dim. C 0.75 in (19 mm) typical and Dim. D 0.04 in (1 mm) typical. The 1 in long leads are tinned to within 1/8 in of the body.
The rated ambient temperature range is -60 C to +85 C. The 1538M04 is RoHS and REACH compliant, has a shipping weight of 0.05 lbs (0.02 kg), and is identified by UPC 623980299976 and UNSPSC 39121301.
Ideal For
