Epoxy Application to Secure Terminal Leads -
7100 Series Common Mode Chokes
Effective with manufacturing date code 1050 and later, epoxy will be applied to all four leads of certain part
numbers in the Bourns® 7100 Series Common Mode Chokes as a method to secure terminals to the product’s
structure.
This product quality improvement process will be implemented on selected part numbers of the 7100 series chokes
that are wound with 0.5 mm or fi ner diameter wires. Without epoxy, smaller diameter wire leads tend to
reposition during transportation and next-level assembly handling.
Part numbers with terminal leads to be secured with epoxy are:
7101-RC, 7102-RC, 7103-RC, 7104-RC, 7105-RC
7106-RC, 7107-RC, 7108-RC, 7109-RC, 7116-RC
This process is not necessary for other part numbers 7110-RC to 7115-RC and 7117-RC to 7124-RC within the
series that are built with larger diameter wires.
