5500.2038

Overview

The Schurter 5500.2038 is a single-stage AC general-purpose power line filter designed for chassis mounting. It supports a rated voltage of 125/250 VAC at 50/60 Hz frequencies. The component features a current rating range of 6-20 A at 40°C and operates within an ambient temperature range of -25°C to 100°C. Its physical dimensions are 91 mm in length, 51 mm in width, and 32 mm in height, housed in a metal case.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage filtering architecture for electromagnetic interference suppression
• Metal enclosure construction providing mechanical durability
• Chassis mount configuration for secure panel integration

Applications

• Industrial equipment power conditioning
• Medical device power supply input stages
• General purpose AC power line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current rating variant required, as the series spans 6A to 20A. Confirm chassis mounting hole patterns match the design. Ensure operating temperatures align with the -25°C to 100°C specification. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the end product.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-stage solution meets EMI requirements. Consider the 20A maximum rating for high-current applications. Evaluate the metal case size against available chassis space. Verify voltage ratings match the local AC mains standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Schurter power line filter module family. It serves as an EMI suppression device for AC circuits. The metal case design distinguishes it from plastic-housed alternatives. It targets applications requiring robust chassis-mounted filtration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Schurter FMLB or FSW series filters. Verify identical current and voltage ratings before substitution. Check dimensional compatibility for existing mounting holes.
