Overview
The KEMET PLT pulse transformers are common mode
choke coils suitable for Power Line Communication (PLC).
Designed with our proprietary ferrite core, they show
excellent insertion loss characteristics.
Applications
• PLT-01: 264 VAC maximum power supply line for Power
Line Communication (PLC)
• PLT-02: 110 VAC maximum power supply line for Power
Line Communication (PLC)
Pulse Transformers
Device for HD-PLC, PLT Series

Handling Precautions
Precautions for product storage
Pulse Transformers should be stored in normal working environments. While the transformers themselves are quite
robust in other environments, solderability will be degraded by exposure to high temperatures, high humidity, corrosive
atmospheres, and long term storage.
KEMETrecommendsthatmaximumstoragetemperaturenotexceed40°Candmaximumstoragehumiditynotexceed70%
relativehumidity.Atmospheresshouldbefreeofchlorineandsulfurbearingcompounds.Temperatureuctuationsshould
beminimizedtoavoidcondensationontheparts.Avoidalsostoragenearstrongmagneticeldsasthismightmagnetize
the product.
For optimized solderability Transformers stock should be used promptly, preferably within six months of receipt.
Product temperature rise values
The values listed for temperature rise are the result of self-heating in wires when the rated current is applied. Check and
evaluate the value of the core temperature rise under actual operating conditions when using.
Export Control
For customers in Japan
For products which are controlled items subject to the “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law” of Japan, the export
licensespeciedbythelawisrequiredforexport.
For customers outside Japan
Pulse Transformers should not be used or sold for use in the development, production, stockpiling or utilization of any
conventional weapons or mass-destructive weapons (nuclear weapons, chemical or biological weapons or missiles) or any
other weapons.
