- 27 uH +/- 10% inductance, measured at 1 kHz with 0 A DC
- 15 A maximum DC current rating
- 0.01 ohms maximum DC resistance
- 6.4 MHz self-resonant frequency
- High saturation flux density ferrite rod
- 1 in long leads, tinned to within 1/8 in of body
- Typical inductance change under 5% at twice rated current
- Ambient temperature range -60 C to +85 C
The 1538M23 is an EMI/RFI choke from the 1538 series, described by the manufacturer as a heavy duty RF hash choke. It is rated 27 uH +/- 10% with a maximum DC current of 15 A, making it a practical choice for electronics designers and OEM engineers building filtering circuits or energy storage inductors.
At 27 uH and 15 A, the 1538M23 is the highest-current 27 uH option in the 1538 series, on a 1.00 in maximum Dim. B. Other 27 uH values on the 1538 specification sheet are 1538M03 (7 A), 1538M10 (9 A) and 1538M17 (12.5 A), so compare current rating and body size when choosing.
The choke is built on a high saturation flux density ferrite rod. It has 1 in long leads, tinned to within 1/8 in of the body. The 1538 series is specified for an ambient temperature range of -60 C to +85 C.
- Inductance: 27 uH +/- 10%
- Self-resonant frequency: 6.4 MHz
- Maximum DC resistance: 0.01 ohms
