Common-Mode Chokes for Automotive Noise Suppression

TT Electronics has launched the HA19 common mode choke designed specifically for noise suppression applications found in the growth and expansion of new generation vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs). The HA19 series offer high efficiency and excellent current handling in a rugged construction.

It is mechanically robust and features low dc resistance and low temperature rise performance. HA19 is especially well suited for high efficiency electric power steering (EPS) EMI applications where size and AEC-Q200 certification is critical.

Every EPS system requires proper EMI (electromagnetic interference) control with a common mode choke (CMC) and/or a differential mode choke (DMC) serving this function. With the growing shift to EVs and PHEVs, and the accelerated incorporation of electronic components in automobiles, noise suppression has become increasingly important in order to ensure EMI compliance.

TT Electronics' HA19 series common mode chokes are designed with the company's extensive expertise and excellence in noise suppression performance in chokes that the company has supplied for EPS applications over the last 15 years.

The HA19 series is comprised of three parts with standard inductance values, ranging from 11μH to 75μH, and has been demonstrated to be ideal for reducing line-conducted inference in the circuitry. The HA19 series devices offer high reliability and superior current handling from 26.5A to 44A (and even higher over-current withstanding) in a rugged construction.

Their wide -40 to 125°C operating temperature range and AEC-Q200 certification make them suited for high stress automotive environments. The HA19 common mode chokes are lead-free and comply with EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS2) requirements.

The HA19 series embraces TT Electronics' holistic approach to specialized component design to create products that are feature rich, safe, highly efficient and reliable. The result is design and manufacturing solutions for magnetics that have a systematic adherence to the safety standards and quality required by the automotive industry.
