4100-500

Overview

The Tusonix 4100-500 is a third-order LC (Pi) EMI feedthrough filter manufactured by CTS Electronic Components. It features an axial package with eyelet termination, designed for high-current applications. The component has a capacitance of 1500 pF and supports a maximum DC current of 10 A. It operates within a voltage rating of 200 V and functions reliably across a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Third-order LC Pi filter topology for enhanced attenuation
• Axial leaded construction with eyelet mounting option
• High continuous current handling capability
• Wide operating temperature range

Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• DC bus line noise suppression
• Industrial equipment EMI mitigation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 4100-500 model to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts or chassis mounts due to the axial eyelet form factor. Confirm RoHS status if required for your assembly process, as older Tusonix series may vary in compliance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high attenuation at lower frequencies is required alongside significant current carrying capacity. The Pi configuration offers superior noise reduction compared to single-stage capacitors. Consider the physical size constraints imposed by the axial leads and eyelet requirement during the mechanical design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Tusonix 4100 series of EMI feedthrough filters. These components are engineered for robust electromagnetic interference suppression in demanding electronic environments. The series utilizes specialized internal structures to maintain performance under high thermal and electrical stress conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other third-order Pi filters from Tusonix such as the 4100-000LF or 4100-053LF, provided their capacitance and current ratings align with the circuit requirements. Verify that alternative parts match the 10A current rating and 200V voltage specification.
