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.
