RFI Power Line Filters for Switching Power Supply Noise Suppression
The EP/VP series of RFI filters has been developed to
reduce conducted noise to acceptable limits for
equipment that must comply with the requirements
of CISPR in Europe and the FCC specifications in the USA.
These filters provide high insertion loss for both line-
to-ground and line-to-line emissions throughout the
frequency range. They are particularly well suited
for equipment to better meet both stringent emissions
specifications (such as CISPR 22, A-level and FCC
Part 15J, Class B) and the EP models meet very low
leakage current requirements.
Tyco Electronics Corcom Products has extended the EP
Series of Power Line Filters by adding a 7 Amp and 12
Amp versions to the existing 3, 6, 10, and 20 Amp product
offering. The new filters offer higher performance in a
smaller package at a lower price than the existing 6 Amp
and 10 Amp versions. The smaller package size and
comparable performance is a better match to Schaffner's
FN 2070 Series. The new filters are RoHS compliant.
