SMD Common Mode Chokes CM

The CM Series Common Mode Chokes are independently separated from the legacy product range to support more focused EMI suppression design and calculation-based selection.
This series is suitable for both power line filtering and SMD Common Mode Choke applications, offering engineers greater flexibility during EMC design.

Common Mode Choke Application Overview

A common mode choke application typically targets the suppression of high-frequency noise that appears simultaneously on multiple conductors.

CM Series chokes are widely applied in:

• Power input lines

• Signal and data lines

• Switching power supplies

• Industrial control systems

• Communication and embedded electronics

By blocking unwanted common-mode noise while allowing normal current flow, CM chokes form a critical part of any EMI Filter design.

SMD Common Mode Choke for Compact Designs

The SMD Common Mode Choke version of the CM Series is designed for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.

Key benefits include:

• Surface-mount compatibility

• Stable impedance over wide frequency ranges

• Low DC resistance

• High consistency for mass production

These characteristics make CM Series SMD chokes ideal for modern electronic designs requiring compact EMI suppression.

How a Common Mode Choke Works

A common mode choke operates by placing multiple windings on a shared magnetic core:

• Differential-mode currents generate opposing magnetic flux and cancel out

• Common-mode noise currents reinforce magnetic flux

• Increased impedance attenuates high-frequency interference

This operating principle is fundamental to both Power Line Common Mode Choke and SMD configurations.
