Hammond 1539M18 2500uH 1.6A EMI/RFI Choke, Ferrite Bobbin Core

The 1539M18 is an EMI/RFI choke from the 1539 series, described by the manufacturer as a heavy duty RF hash choke. It is rated 2500 uH +/- 10% with a maximum DC current of 1.6 A, making it a practical choice for electronics designers and OEM engineers building filtering circuits or energy storage inductors.

The 1539M18 is the 2500 uH member of the 1.22 in by 1.11 in group, rated 1.6 A DC with a 0.35 MHz minimum Fo. Other 2500 uH values on the 1539 specification sheet are 1539M09 (0.85 A), 1539M24 (2.2 A) and 1539M30 (2.8 A), so compare current rating and body size when choosing.

The choke is built on a high saturation flux density ferrite bobbin core. It has 1 in long leads, tinned to within 1/8 in of the body. Maximum DC resistance is 0.69 ohms and the minimum Fo is 0.35 MHz.

• Inductance: 2500 uH +/- 10%
• Fo minimum: 0.35 MHz
• Maximum DC resistance: 0.69 ohms
• Maximum DC current: 1.6 A
• Maximum Dim. A: 1.22 in (31 mm); maximum Dim. B: 1.11 in (28 mm)
