Schaffner EMC Increases Attenuation Performance With Extension To Inlet Filter Series

Edison, NJ - Schaffner EMC, a leading provider of EMI/RFI components and solutions for power quality, has recently extended its FN9222 inlet filter series to include the new FN9222E, which features an earth line choke for applications requiring greater attenuation performance or additional attenuation on the ground wire.

Offering an increased attenuation, the FN9222E is ideal for use in a variety of applications in the electrical, household appliance, test and measurement, power supply and electric data processing industries. In addition, the filter's low leakage current option (B-type) makes it suitable for use in medical applications. A wide range of amperage ratings and a variety of mounting styles allows for application specific selection and deployment.

With new technologies for power supplies demanding better EMI filter performance, the compact FN9222E delivers a broader performance range than Schaffner's existing IEC inlet filters, while being mechanically compatible with the panel cut-out of traditional filters. As with all of Schaffners IEC inlet filters, this model offers exceptional conducted attenuation performance based on chokes with high saturation resistance and excellent thermal behavior.

The FN9222 and FN9222E provide maximum installation flexibility. Each filter features traditional screw mounting with a time saving snap-in option available for simplified installation. In addition, extra wide mounting flanges (U-types) are also available.

The filters are suitable for a maximum continuous operating voltage of 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, an operating frequency of dc to 400 Hz and a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C (25/85/21). The series also meets UL, CSA, ENEC, and CQC safety standards. The FN9222 has a current ratings of 1 A to 20 A at 50°C, while the FN9222E offers a current ratings of 1 A to 15 A at 50°C.

The FN9222E family of filters are available from Schaffner's wide distribution network or from our local US warehouse.

Low quantity pricing for the FN9222E starts at less than $7.00. Delivery is 2 weeks ARO.
