New Industry-standard Metalized EMI Filters from LCR Electronics Increase Appliance Safety, Reduce Lead Time and Costs

The new 095 Series filters use highly cost-effective metalized film technology that delivers high reliability and fail-safe characteristics similar to more expensive, older technologies, such as impregnated paper-foil. If a failure occurs, the metallization over the film evaporates, eliminating the chance of electrodes of the opposite polarity touching and causing a short circuit condition. This significantly reduces the chance of fire and explosion, while ensuring that power is still available to the equipment in a safe, operational mode.

Comprised of industry-standard UL94-V0 high CTI rated plastic, the new filters are available in an assortment of component values and configurations to meet the EMI needs of different models. The 095 Series features RAST-5 terminal configurations or fast-on tabs for easy assembly. Rated current for the new filters is 6A to 16A at 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) and rated voltage is 90 VAC to 250 VAC (50/60Hz). Ambient working temperature is -25 degrees C to 100 degrees C (-13 degrees F to 212 degrees F) for both storage and operation. The IP55 class filters meet industry standards EN132400, EN133200, EN61000-4-5 and are RoHS/WEEE compliant.

Nominal values for the X capacitors are from 220 nF to 1 uF and up to 27 nF for the Y capacitors, and can include common mode inductance nominal values up to 3 mH.

Detailed specifications and specific pricing for the 095 Series EMI Filters can be obtained through LCR Electronics.
