Vishay Low-Profile Common Mode Chokes Offer High Shock Resistance

Vishay Intertechnology introduced two new low profile common mode chokes for high current automotive, energy, and industrial applications. Available in both surface-mount and through-hole packages, the Vishay Dale commercial ICMS2321-10 and Automotive Grade ICMS2321-1A combine a heat rating current to 30 A with a 1500 V_DC dielectric withstand voltage between coils.

With their low profile, the devices released offer reduced size and volume, making them more resistant to shock and vibration, while their enhanced core design increases performance and saturation current at high temperatures up to +150 °C. Offering a self-shielded, rugged construction, the common mode chokes are ideal for DC/DC converters, high voltage inverters, EMI filters, and high current filters for noise suppression in motor control and other circuitry. The AEC-Q200 qualified ICMS2321-1A is well suited for use in automotive on-board chargers.

In addition to their surface-mount and through-hole mounting options, the ICMS2321-10 and ICMS2321-1A offer customizable inductance, impedance, DCR, and current ratings. Devices with surface-mount terminations are available in tape and reel packaging and are compatible with automated pick and place assembly for increased flexibility in board layouts. The common mode chokes are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
