The WG Power Filter Line family from Tyco Electronics has been expanded a new power line filter with a RAST style connector for ease of installation and the elimination of potential wiring errors. This tubular filter is now available with an un-keyed two-position RAST 5 header that mates with Tyco Electronics’ stand connectors or with the RAST 5 Positive Lock Mark III Connectors. A built-in latching mechanism also improves housing retention. The RAST 5 interface is available for all six standard versions of the WG family. The WGD, WGE, and WGF products have been crafted to comply with leakage current requirements for appliances that may be moved from one spot to another in normal use. These power line filters are rated for continuous operation at 16 A at 250 VAC. They are UL recognized, CSA certified, and VDE approved. See the original announcement on the Tyco Electronics’website.
