Rugged electronic filter to shield against high-frequency interference from cables introduced by SCHURTER

SANTA ROSA, Calif. – SCHURTER Inc. in Santa Rosa, Calif., is introducing the 5121 filtered appliance inlet that shields against high-frequency interference conducted through cables or radiated interference.

The compact filter features an IEC C14 inlet with capacitors and a enclosed steel housing, and is for applications with shallow installation depth.

The 5121 filter suppresses the equipment’s high-frequency interference at the mains input while other additional low-frequency filter components, such as chokes and capacitors, can be placed elsewhere on the circuit board.

The 5121 rugged filter features a version for flange mounting and snap-in mounting, and its flange comes with plastic-upon-metal, or metal only. The snap-in version features snap arms.

Securing the metal flange to the chassis with metal screws or snap-in version with snap arms ensures optimal shielding at the panel opening, which reduces the coupling effect and the radio frequency’s ability to travel.

The 5121 is available in standard and medical M80 versions, making it suitable for laboratory, industrial, medical, telecommunications, audio/video equipment, and office equipment.

It is approved by ENEC, CQC, and cURus for currents as strong as 10 amps / 250 volts AC according to IEC and as strong as 15 amps at 125 to 250 volts AC. The filter operates in temperatures from -25 to 85 degrees Celsius.
