Choose the impedance grade
Start from the frequency where your scan fails. Low grades such as WHLC-2012A-750C and WHLC-2012A-900T0 suit fast pairs; high grades such as WHLC-2012A-122T0 suppress more noise but narrow the signal bandwidth.
Inductor products
WH2012 is a compact part for differential pairs where board space between the traces is limited. Compare the impedance at the frequency your scan fails, then verify the eye diagram and return loss on your own link before committing.

By interface
The interface sets the data rate and therefore what the choke is allowed to do to the signal.
Series overview
A WH2012 signal line common mode choke is a 2012-size chip, 0805 in inch terms, that sits on a differential pair near the connector and blocks common mode noise while the signal passes. It is also listed as a 2012 common mode choke, SMD common mode choke or common mode filter. This selector gathers WHLC part numbers, such as WHLC-2012A-181T0, and WHAC part numbers, such as WHAC-2012A-900T0; to browse one prefix, open the WHLC2012A chokes or the WHAC2012A chokes.
Start from the frequency where your scan fails. Low grades such as WHLC-2012A-750C and WHLC-2012A-900T0 suit fast pairs; high grades such as WHLC-2012A-122T0 suppress more noise but narrow the signal bandwidth.
The WH2012 selector lists WHLC and WHAC part numbers side by side. WHAC-2012A-801T0 and WHLC-2012A-801T0 share a grade code but have separate datasheets; compare them before one replaces the other.
WHLC-2012A-121T0 and WHLC-2012A-121T1 differ only in the suffix, yet the selector lists different ratings for them. Quote the full part number, suffix included, on your drawings, BOMs and purchase orders.
If no 2012 grade gives enough suppression, step up to the 3225-size WHAC3225B chokes or 4532-size WHAC4532A chokes. Both need more board area and wider trace spacing, so reserve room early.
Applications
A 2012 body suits tight pairs with little room beside the connector.
USB 2.0 cables pick up common mode noise, and the port is often where emissions escape. A low grade such as WHLC-2012A-900T0 beside the connector is a common first fit; check the eye diagram afterwards.
Monitors, HMIs and video equipment run LVDS pairs over flex cables that radiate when common mode noise rides on them. Choose the grade from the failing band and data rate, then check eye opening.
Small modules, handheld instruments and dense mainboards often have room for a 2012 chip where a 3225 body will not fit. Use the 3D model to check clearance before the layout is frozen.

FAQ
Supply, the first grade to try, and how this page differs from the CHIP LAN 2012 page.
It suits differential pairs where space between the traces is tight. Whether it fits a specific interface depends on the impedance curve and how much insertion loss the link tolerates, so send the interface and data rate and our engineers will confirm rather than judging by package size alone.
Read each candidate's common mode impedance at the frequency your emission scan fails, then compare DC resistance and the recommended land pattern. Shared package size means the footprints are similar; it says nothing about the impedance curve or the symmetry between windings.
It adds loss in the signal path, and where the pair also carries bias current it causes a voltage drop and some heating. Read the maximum figure from the datasheet rather than a typical value, then judge it against the link budget your interface allows.
Possibly. Real parts have some asymmetry and parasitic effects, which produce insertion loss and mode conversion, and both grow with data rate. Measure the eye and return loss on the target board with and without the part rather than relying on common mode impedance alone.
With a complete part number, send the part number, quantity, delivery region and the date you need it. If you are still selecting, send the interface, the data rate and the frequency band where your scan fails, and a sales engineer will confirm candidates first.
Yes. VOOHU manufactures the WH2012 signal line common mode chokes in its own magnetics factory in Mianyang, China. That covers the WHLC and WHAC part numbers alike, so one quotation can include every 2012 grade you test.
Start low. A fast pair has little room for insertion loss, so WHLC-2012A-900T0 or WHAC-2012A-900T0 is the usual first fit. Move up a grade only if the scan still fails, re-measuring the eye each time.
The 2012 common mode chokes for CHIP LAN designs page covers WHLC2012A parts in Ethernet ports. This WH2012 page covers the same size for other differential pairs, such as USB 2.0 and LVDS links, plus the WHAC part numbers.
