4600-072

Overview

The 4600-072 is a feedthrough capacitor manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. It features a capacitance of 0.15 µF and a voltage rating of 200V. The component supports a maximum DC current of 15 A and utilizes an axial package with a bushing configuration and one QC lead. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The unit measures 0.385 inches in diameter and 0.362 inches in length, incorporating a 1/4"-28 thread specification for mounting.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-frequency electromagnetic interference suppression through feedthrough capacitor architecture
• Supports high direct current loads up to 15 Amperes
• Features robust mechanical construction with threaded bushing for secure panel mounting

Applications

• Power supply input filtering in electronic equipment
• Electromagnetic interference suppression in industrial control systems
• Signal conditioning in aerospace and defense applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as the base part number may correspond to non-compliant variants. Confirm RoHS status requirements against project specifications, as some versions lack compliance. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly states the lead type and thread specifications to match the intended mechanical interface. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for the exact electrical tolerances and thermal ratings before finalizing the bill of materials.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-current handling alongside effective RF noise attenuation. The axial bushing design facilitates direct panel penetration, simplifying chassis integration. Consider the 200V rating and 15A current capacity to ensure adequate margin for operational loads. Verify that the physical dimensions fit the available enclosure space and that the threading matches existing panel cutouts.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 4600 series of feedthrough capacitors from Tusonix. The series offers various capacitance values and voltage ratings tailored for EMI suppression. These components are designed to replace traditional discrete filter networks with a single, compact solution. The axial form factor allows for straightforward installation in high-power environments where space efficiency and reliability are critical.

Replacement Considerations

The 4600-072LF serves as a RoHS-compliant alternative to the standard 4600-072 variant. Verify mechanical compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the required current rating and frequency response characteristics.
