CT01 Series
Low-Profile SMT Current Sense Transformer
The CT01 Series is a low-profile SMT current sense transformer designed for accurate current measurement in compact power electronics. With a 5.1 mm maximum height, 8.2 × 7.0 mm footprint, primary current capability up to 10 A, and turns ratios from 1:20 to 1:200, it supports precise sensing in space-constrained DC/DC and AC/DC converter designs.
Suitable for current sensing in typical switching-frequency ranges found in SMPS designs, the CT01 Series delivers stable, isolated current measurement for high-density power stages. Its 500 VAC isolation rating, –40°C to +130°C operating range, and reflow-compatible SMT construction ensure dependable performance in industrial, telecom, and distributed-power environments.
