SHO-101 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SHO-101 is a 2 µH @ 100 kHz, 2-line common mode choke (CMC) designed for power line filtering applications. This through-hole component is rated for 4A maximum current with a DC resistance of 15.5 mOhm and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C. The SHO-101 is an active product manufactured by KEMET and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative inductance values while maintaining compatibility with the same mounting footprint, current rating, and electrical interface specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SHO-101 are identified based on strict parameter compatibility within the KEMET SHO series. The substitution logic is governed by the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: KEMET
• Series: SHO
• Number of Lines: 2
• Current Rating (Max): 4A
• DC Resistance (DCR) (Max): 15.5 mOhm
• Voltage Rating - DC: 50V
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 70°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Size / Dimension: 0.433" Dia (11.00 mm)
• Height (Max): 0.433" (11.00 mm)
• Package / Case: Vertical, No Base, 4 PC Pin
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameter:

• Inductance @ Frequency: Different inductance values are permitted when all other parameters remain constant

The SHO-301 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all mandatory electrical and mechanical specifications while offering an alternative inductance value of 12 µH @ 100 kHz.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SHO-101 and SHO-301 are active products manufactured by KEMET with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts is determined by the required inductance value for the application circuit.

The SHO-101 provides 2 µH @ 100 kHz inductance and is suitable for applications requiring lower filtering impedance. The SHO-301 provides 12 µH @ 100 kHz inductance and is suitable for applications requiring higher filtering impedance. Both parts share identical current handling capacity (4A), DC resistance (15.5 mOhm), voltage rating (50V DC), thermal operating range (-25°C to 70°C), and physical footprint (0.433" diameter, 0.433" height, through-hole vertical mounting).

Component selection must be based on the specific inductance requirement of the circuit design. Both parts are available in production quantities and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SHO-301 be used as a direct replacement for the SHO-101?

A: The SHO-301 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions. However, it provides a different inductance value (12 µH versus 2 µH @ 100 kHz). Direct substitution is only appropriate if the circuit design accommodates the higher inductance value. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible in terms of mounting, current handling, and voltage rating.

Q: What is the primary difference between the SHO-101 and SHO-301?

A: The inductance value is the only parameter that differs between these parts. The SHO-101 is specified at 2 µH @ 100 kHz, while the SHO-301 is specified at 12 µH @ 100 kHz. All other electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the SHO-101 and SHO-301 use identical packaging: vertical through-hole mounting with no base, 4-pin configuration, and bulk packaging. The physical footprint is 0.433" diameter with a maximum height of 0.433" (11.00 mm).

Q: What compliance standards apply to both parts?

A: Both the SHO-101 and SHO-301 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8548.00.0000.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in power line filtering applications?

A: Both parts are designed for power line filtering applications and share the same 2-line common mode choke configuration. Interchangeability depends on whether the circuit design requires the specific inductance value of each part. The SHO-101 (2 µH) and SHO-301 (12 µH) provide different levels of filtering impedance and must be selected based on the application's frequency response and attenuation requirements.
