The HL 8527 series of RF surface-mount chokes is specifically targeted for use in starter circuits and electronic ballasts within the lighting industry. The design of the HL 8527 chokes enables them to handle the high-voltage spikes associated with these applications. Plus, these chokes can also be used in any RF application where high inductance is required.

The HL 8527 chokes can also be used in security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment, aviation equipment, navigation equipment, telecommunications and cable television. Technical specifications for HL 8527 series include inductance (+/- 10%) from 16000 to 55000 microHenries (at 79 kHz) and current ratings from 67 to 50 mA DC. The manufacturer also offers custom designs in the HL 8527 series to meet the specific requirements of an application. Pricing for the HL 8527 series is $0.88/unit in production quantities.
