2499-003-X5W0-502P

Overview

The 2499-003-X5W0-502P is a tubular feed-through capacitor manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. This component functions as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter designed for high-current applications. It features a capacitance value of 5000 pF and supports a continuous current rating of 20 A. The device is rated for a maximum voltage of 500 V DC at 85°C. It utilizes an axial bushing package configuration suitable for panel mounting.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective attenuation of electromagnetic interference through feed-through capacitor architecture
• Capable of handling high continuous current loads up to 20 amperes
• Designed for robust performance in demanding electrical environments with high voltage ratings

Applications

• Power supply input filtering for electronic systems
• Electromagnetic interference suppression in industrial control panels
• High-current signal line protection in aerospace or military equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements when ordering, as variations such as LF may indicate lead-free compliance status which can affect material composition and regulatory adherence. Confirm that the 500V DC rating at 85°C aligns with your operational thermal conditions. Ensure the axial bushing form factor matches your chassis penetration specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high current capacity and significant capacitance are required for EMI suppression in a single feed-through unit. The 5000 pF value offers a balance between low-frequency noise attenuation and physical size constraints. Consider the 20 A current rating to ensure the filter does not become a bottleneck in high-power distribution lines compared to lower-rated alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Tusonix feed-through capacitor family, specifically engineered for shielding and filtering applications. These components are widely used in sectors requiring strict electromagnetic compatibility standards. The axial bushing design allows for direct mounting onto metal enclosures, providing a grounded path for high-frequency noise while passing the desired power or signal current.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for this specific model are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with any alternative feed-through capacitors by matching the 5000 pF capacitance, 20 A current rating, and 500 V DC voltage specifications.
