The new 095 Series of filters from LCR Electronics uses a highly cost-effective metalized film technology that provides both the high reliability and fail-safe characteristics often associated with 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 feature significantly reduces the chance of fire and explosion while assuring that the power is still available to the equipment in a safe operational mode. Comprised of an industry-standard UL94-V0 high CTI plastic, these filters are available in an assortment of component values and configurations to provide EMI protection in various applications. The 095 Series features RAST-5 terminal configurations on fast-on tabs for easy assembly. Rated current for the filters is 6 amps to 16 amps at 40 degrees C (104 degrees F), and rated voltage is 90 VAC (50/60 Hz) to 250 VAC. 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.Find the original product announcement on the LCR Electronics’ website.
