Choke Coils for PFC
Pin terminal type
Development Concept of the PFC series
This is a power - factor improvement circuit for choke coils for smaller, thinner and narrow floor space in recent years electronic
equipment.
MATERIAL
Thanks to the development of an optimized core shape and materials, the choke coil has DC superimposition characteristics suitable for
the design of various types of electronic devices.
Optimized materials have been selected, and at the same time the original core shape for PFC has been developed.
The product line-up has been expanded to cater for various types of electronic devices that need to become smaller, thinner and narrow
floor space.
MANUFACTURING METHOD
Since the PFC Series supports automatic winding, the product is of a high quality and can be manufactured stably.
It is designed to support automatic winding, which enables a remarkable reduction in the loss generated to achieve a proficient in manual
winding until stable production.
In addition, the characteristic variations of the winding wire and creepage tape have largely been removed, stabilizing the transformer's
characteristics.
OPTIMIZATION DESIGN
While the existing line-up of standard products remains available, new products can also be manufactured to meet customers' requests.
Using design tools developed with TDK's comprehensive know-how, high-precision design has been achieved in a short period of time.
1) For optimization design and high-quality stable production, customers can use a specification request form.
If you provide the necessary information in the form, you will receive the optimization design in a short time.
2) TDK recommends design with a standard core gap (A
L
-value) for optimization and shorter trial and mass production lead time.
ENVIRONMENT
The PFC series is RoHS directive-compliant product.
Please be sure to request delivery specifications that provide further details on the features and specifications of the products for proper and safe use.
Please note that the contents may change without any prior notice due to reasons such as upgrading.
