12.! Caution
12-1.Rated Current
Operating Current should not exceed the rated value.
Even if operating current is under the rated value, adequate ventilation is required to avoid excessive heat
generated within the product (common mode choke coil) and from surrounding heat sources.
If exceeding these conditions, excessive heat may cause fumes or permanent damage to the product
(common mode choke coil).
Please ensure that the product (common mode choke coil) is evaluated and confirmed against the
specification when it is mounted in your final assembled product.
Winding temperature should be less than 120℃.
Maximum allowable temperature at the surface of coil (ambient temperature + winding temperature rise) is in
accordance with each safety standard that final assembled products applicable to.
When the temperature at winding exceeds maximum allowable temperature of safety standard, the rated
current should be derated.
12-2.Surge current
Surge current should not exceed 10 times rated current within 1/4 cycle of 50/60Hz commercial power line.
Excessive surge current or excessively repeated surge current (with interval between surge : less than 10
seconds) may cause fumes or permanent damage to the product (common mode choke coil).

12-4.Fail-safe
Be sure to provide an appropriate fail-safe function on your product to prevent a second damage that may be
caused by the abnormal function or the failure of our product.
13.Notice
13-1.Magnetic flux leakage
Common Mode Choke Coils generate small amounts magnetic flux leakage that may adversely affect
equipment operation according to components arrangement.
Testing should be completed by your final assembly product to ensure equipment performance is not
effected.
13-2.Coil humming noise
Magnetic flux generated between the choke coil windings creates repulsive power between the coil windings.
This repulsive power causes the coil winding to vibrate and create a humming noise.
The amount of hum produced by the coil windings is proportionate to the amount of harmonic distortion
generated by the operating current.
This does not influence the electrical performance of the coils, but it should be considered and tested in
actual circuit application.
13-3.Soldering conditions
(1)Flux, Solder
・Rosin-based flux should be used.
Do not use strong acidic flux with halide content exceeding 0.2(wt)% (chlorine conversion value).
・Use Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder.
(2) Flow soldering profile.
