Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new space-grade, surface-mount common mode choke designed to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering and noise suppression in demanding space, aerospace and defense applications.
The Vishay Custom Magnetics SGCM05339 is ideal for gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC)
Source: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. switching applications, where sharp edges develop in waveforms, causing radiated emissions. The common mode choke will also be used in low profile, high current power supplies; DC/DC converters in distributed power systems; and power converters for solar panels.
To withstand the harsh environments of these applications, the self-shielded device features a compact, robust nanocrystalline core and an overmolded ruggedized construction. The SGCM05339 offers high impedance at extended frequencies, supports high heat rating current capabilities of up to 14.43 A, and provides a continuous operating temperature range from -55° C to 130° C.
Outgassing compliant per ASTM-E595, the device is available with a wide range of screening options, including MIL-PRF-27, Grade 5, Product Level T, Temperature Class S; MIL-STD-981 Family-4, Class S; and EEE-INST-002. The SGCM05339 offers a dielectric withstand voltage of 1,000 VRMS, insulation resistance of 10 GW (minimum) at 500 VDC, and can be customized by turn count, wire gauge and more to meet specific application requirements.

Samples and production quantities of the new space-grade common mode choke are available now, with lead times of eight to 12 weeks.
