Pulse Electronic's PA4040 integrated choke features a 31 mm x 24.9 mm footprint, making this single CMDM component over 40% smaller than the combined footprint of equivalent CM and DM components. The low direct current resistance, between 32 mΩ and 245 mΩ, increases efficiency by 30%. The integrated choke has 1500 VRMS hi-pot and 3.0 mm of creepage and clearance safety distance so it suits a wide range of safety agency (UL/CSA/VDE) requirements. It can be used in any AC/DC or DC/AC power supply that uses both a DM and CM filter and where the currents through the filter are less than 3.5 ARMS.

Features and Benefits
