TLA-8T104WLF-T TDK LAN Transformer 10/100BASE-TX Automotive SMD

The TLA-8T104WLF-T is an automotive-grade, surface-mount (SMD) LAN pulse transformer originally manufactured by TDK. Engineered specifically for 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet networks, this module ensures robust signal integrity and reliable network communication in demanding environments.

TLA-8T104WLF-T TDK Automotive-Grade LAN Transformer Overview:

The TLA-8T104WLF-T is an obsolete TDK automotive-grade LAN pulse transformer originally developed for 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet applications. Designed as a compact surface-mount Ethernet transformer, it provides 350 μH minimum inductance, 1CT:1CT turns ratio, 1500 Vrms isolation voltage, and compliance with AEC-Q200 reliability requirements for demanding automotive and industrial environments.

Although the original TDK part has reached end-of-life (EOL), many manufacturers continue to require a compatible replacement for legacy designs and long-life products. LINK-PP offers high-quality Ethernet transformer solutions with equivalent electrical performance, helping engineers maintain production without redesigning existing PCBs.

Whether you are maintaining automotive ECUs, industrial Ethernet equipment, embedded controllers, or networking devices, our compatible Ethernet transformers provide dependable performance, long-term availability, and technical support.
