The thickness of the board beneath it gives deceptive scale. It’s about 50mm tall and the toroid is 85mm in diameter.

I was looking for much smaller CMCs. Also the datasheet for this part doesn’t have impedance-versus-frequency graphs so I refuse to buy it anyway :P
Don’t lie, that’s a high power magnet from fallout 4. Worth 1 ceramic, 3 copper and 1 nuclear material. More if you have the scrapper perk.
This is a beautiful work of art! Can you ELI5 what this is, please?
A common mode choke is a passive electronic component that functions as a filter, blocking high-frequency noise that is “common” to multiple wires in a circuit while allowing the desired low-frequency signal to pass through, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) from unwanted radio signals or other sources within a system.
That’s a component you can take home to mama!

The lack of symmetry is understandable, but it still vaguely annoys me 🙂
