4101-008

Overview

The 4101-008 is a third-order low-pass LC (Pi) EMI filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. It features a capacitance of 5500 pF and a voltage rating of 100 V. The component supports a maximum DC current of 10 A and utilizes an axial, eyelet package with one turret lead for solder mounting. Designed for robust electromagnetic interference suppression, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides third-order low-pass filtering characteristics using an LC Pi topology.
• Features an axial eyelet package with a single turret lead for secure chassis or panel mounting.
• Engineered for high-current applications with a 10 A maximum DC current rating.

Applications

• Electromagnetic interference suppression in power supply input lines
• Signal conditioning for sensitive electronic circuits requiring high attenuation
• Chassis-mounted filtering for industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements for RoHS compliance, as standard versions may differ from lead-free variants like the 4101-008LF. Confirm that the 10 A current rating aligns with your system's peak load requirements. Ensure the axial eyelet mounting style fits your mechanical design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a third-order attenuation slope is required for effective noise reduction. The 5500 pF capacitance offers a balance between filtering performance and physical size. Consider the 100 V rating for general-purpose low-voltage DC applications. The turret lead design simplifies assembly compared to through-hole pins in high-vibration environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Tusonix 4101 series of LC Pi filters, which are designed for high-performance EMI suppression. The series includes various capacitance values and current ratings to suit different circuit requirements. Tusonix specializes in EMC products, ensuring these filters meet stringent industry standards for signal integrity and noise immunity.

Replacement Considerations

The 4101-008LF serves as a lead-free alternative to the standard 4101-008 version. Verify environmental compliance requirements when choosing between the two. Other parts in the 4101 series offer different capacitance values; ensure the selected replacement maintains the necessary filtering characteristics for your application.
