5500.2043

Overview

The Schurter 5500.2043 is a single-phase, two-stage power line filter designed for electromagnetic interference suppression. It features a chassis mount configuration with quick connect termination. The component operates at 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies with voltage ratings of 125 VAC and 250 VAC. It has a current rating of 2 A to 3 A and an inductance of 3 mH. The leakage current is specified at 500 uA. It complies with UL, CSA, VDE, and EN standards.

Feature Summary

• Two-stage filtering architecture for enhanced noise attenuation
• Chassis mount design for secure installation
• Quick connect termination for simplified wiring
• Compliance with major international safety certifications

Applications

• General purpose electronic equipment power input stages
• Medical device power supply filtering
• Industrial control system EMI suppression
• Audio/Video equipment noise reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current rating (2A vs 3A) required for your application against the official datasheet, as sources vary. Confirm that the quick connect terminal type matches your harness connectors. Ensure chassis mounting holes align with your enclosure design. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this filter when two-stage attenuation is necessary for strict EMC requirements. The chassis mount style suits applications where panel integration is preferred over PCB mounting. Verify that the 2A or 3A current rating meets the load demands. Ensure the 500 uA leakage current is acceptable for sensitive medical or safety-critical circuits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the FMW2 series of power line filters from Schurter. It is part of a broader range of EMI/EMI suppression solutions designed for AC mains applications. The series offers various current ratings and mounting options to suit different industrial and consumer electronics needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Schurter FMW2 series with matching current and inductance values. Verify that any replacement maintains the same chassis mount dimensions and quick connect terminal specifications to ensure mechanical compatibility.
