SMD Common Mode Chokes STRF

The STRF Series SMD Common Mode Chokes are surface-mount EMI suppression components designed for efficient Common Mode Choke filter applications in power and signal lines. This series has been independently separated from the legacy product range to provide clearer classification and improved performance targeting on the Ferrtx website.

STRF series chokes are engineered to meet modern EMI filtering requirements while maintaining compact size and stable electrical characteristics.

Common Mode Chokes Filter for EMI Suppression

A common mode chokes filter is widely used to suppress conducted electromagnetic interference generated by switching power supplies, digital circuits, and communication interfaces.

The STRF Common Mode Choke Filter works by:

• Blocking high-frequency common-mode noise

• Allowing normal differential currents to pass with minimal loss

• Improving system EMC compliance

Such filters are commonly integrated into EMI Filter architectures together with Power Line Filters.

Design Reference: Wurth Common Mode Chokes

In many EMI filter designs, engineers reference well-known solutions such as Wurth Common Mode Chokes when evaluating impedance characteristics, current handling, and frequency response.

The STRF series is developed as a performance-oriented alternative, offering:

• Comparable impedance behavior across EMI frequency bands

• Stable inductance under rated current

• Flexible customization for specific applications

This makes STRF suitable for engineers seeking common mode choke filter solutions aligned with established industry design practices.

Common Mode Choke Filter Operation

The common mode choke filter operation of the STRF series is based on magnetic coupling principles:

• Differential currents generate opposing magnetic flux, resulting in low impedance

• Common-mode noise currents reinforce magnetic flux, creating high impedance

• EMI noise is attenuated without degrading power or signal integrity

This operating mechanism is essential in compact SMD Common Mode Chokes used in modern electronics.
