5500.2003

Overview

The Schurter 5500.2003 is a single-phase power line filter designed for PCB mounting, specifically utilizing through-hole technology with PC pins. It operates at rated voltages of 125 VAC and 250 VAC with a maximum current rating of 4 A. The component features a capacitance value of 15 nF for the Cx capacitor and functions within standard industrial frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This general-purpose anti-interference filter is engineered to protect equipment from interference voltage, complying with safety standards such as IEC/UL 60950.

Feature Summary

• Provides anti-interference protection against common mode noise in AC power lines
• Designed for direct printed circuit board mounting via through-hole PC pins
• Complies with IEC/UL 60950 safety standards for information technology equipment

Applications

• Information technology equipment requiring EMI suppression
• General purpose electronic devices operating on AC mains
• Equipment protected against interference voltage per IEC/UL 60950

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pin configuration against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 4 A current rating and 15 nF capacitance meet the system requirements. Ensure the manufacturer is Schurter Inc. to guarantee compliance with stated safety certifications like UL and IEC. Check lead times as they may vary significantly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, PCB-mounted solution is required for single-phase AC filtering. It is suitable for applications where space constraints prevent chassis-mount filters. The 4 A rating defines the maximum load capacity. Verify compatibility with the target PCB layout for through-hole assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Schurter 5500 series of power line filters. The series offers various configurations for different current ratings and mounting styles. The 5500.2003 specifically addresses the need for compact, board-level EMI suppression in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4 A rating, 250 VAC voltage, and 15 nF capacitance. Verify pinout compatibility for through-hole mounting. Alternative parts from other manufacturers require validation against IEC/UL 60950 standards.
