Electronics specialist TDK Corporation has released a new series of EPCOS EMC filters. Applications for the new filters include converters and power electronics systems.
The B84142A*166 series of compact 2-line filters features different models designed for rated currents of 10 A, 16 A, and 30 A at a rated voltage of 250 V AC (50/60 Hz). All models feature extremely low leakage current of less than 0.5 mA or 1.8 mA, depending on type, and a very high insertion loss of up to more than 100 dB.
The 10 A and 16 A types measure only 84.5 mm x 52 mm x 38 mm, while the 30 A version measures only 130 mm x 84 mm x 69 mm for mounting in limited spaces. All filter models meet the requirements for climate category 25/100/21, IEC 60068 1 and protection class IP00, and can be operated without derating at ambient temperatures of up to 50°C.
