2499-003-X5U0-501MLF

Overview

The 2499-003-X5U0-501MLF is an axial feedthrough capacitor manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. It features a capacitance of 500 pF with a tolerance of ±20%. The component is rated for a DC voltage of 500 V and can handle a current of 20 A. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and utilizes X5U dielectric characteristics. The device employs a chassis mount configuration with an axial bushing package.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic interference suppression through feedthrough filtering architecture
• Supports high current conduction via axial bushing mounting design
• Maintains stable electrical performance across wide industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Chassis-mounted EMI/RFI filtering in electronic enclosures
• Power line conditioning for high-voltage circuits
• Signal integrity protection in sensitive instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MLF against official datasheets to confirm lead-free compliance and exact physical dimensions. Confirm that the 20 A current rating aligns with your circuit requirements. Ensure the chassis mount bushing style matches your panel cutout specifications before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust axial feedthrough solution is required for 500 V applications. The X5U dielectric offers reliable performance at elevated temperatures. Consider the physical bushing size to ensure compatibility with existing panel mounting holes and insulation requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Tusonix feedthrough capacitor family, designed for direct panel penetration. It serves as a passive filter element to shunt high-frequency noise to ground while passing power or signal currents. The axial orientation allows for straightforward integration into shielded compartments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 500 pF, 500 V axial feedthrough capacitors from Tusonix or CTS. Verify that any substitute matches the 20 A current rating and bushing diameter to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
