Inductor wiring for crossover

KickMeElmo · 15th September 2011, 11:41 PM

First off, I'm new to this. This is literally the first time I'm wiring crossovers. Now, I just ordered the parts I need, including these pulse .53mH inductors. Thing is, I tend to assume inductors will be two-pin, and I'm seeing four. Anyone want to tell me how to wire this to get the 0.53mH rating I'm going for?

Datasheet, P0527NL inductor:

Those are common mode chokes for power supplies, not inductors meant for crossovers. They are also surface mount, not meant for hand wiring.
You'll find the inductors you need at places like Parts Express and Madisound in the US, or similar shops elsewhere.

...buggery. No reasonable way to make it work I'm going to assume.

No. Not intended for your use at all. Not even close. You "might" be able to use them, but they are far from ideal. Get the real stuff.
