5500.2108

Overview

The SCHURTER 5500.2108 is a single-phase, one-stage AC line filter designed for PCB mounting within a flat aluminum housing. It supports voltage ratings of 125 VAC and 250 VAC with a current rating of 6 A at operating frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The component utilizes through-hole pins for termination and exhibits a leakage current of up to 500 uA. Certified under UL standards, it serves as an EMC/EMI filter for power line conditioning.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage filtering architecture integrated into a compact flat aluminum housing
• Designed for direct PCB mounting using through-hole pin termination
• Provides electromagnetic interference suppression for AC power lines

Applications

• Electromagnetic compatibility filtering in electronic equipment
• Power line conditioning for devices requiring 125V or 250V AC input
• Industrial control systems utilizing PCB-mounted filter modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific certification requirements against the official datasheet, as documentation references UL compliance. Confirm that the 500 uA leakage current specification aligns with safety standards for the intended application environment. Ensure the through-hole pin configuration matches the target printed circuit board layout before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-stage filter is required for space-constrained PCB designs. The flat aluminum housing facilitates thermal management and mechanical stability. Consider the 6 A current rating and 500 uA leakage current limits to ensure compatibility with downstream circuit protection and safety isolation requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FMAB series of AC filters manufactured by Schurter. These components are characterized by their integration into flat aluminum housings, distinguishing them from chassis-mount alternatives. The series targets applications needing efficient EMI suppression within standard power supply architectures.
