5500.2109

Overview

The SCHURTER 5500.2109 is a single-phase, single-stage power line filter designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) applications. It features a rated current of 10 A and supports voltage ratings of 125 VAC and 250 VAC at operating frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The component utilizes through-hole PC pin termination for PCB mounting. This filter provides essential noise suppression for electronic equipment requiring compliance with emission standards.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage filtering configuration for effective EMI/EMI noise reduction
• Through-hole PC pin termination for direct printed circuit board integration
• Dual voltage rating capability supporting both 125 VAC and 250 VAC systems

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring EMC compliance
• Medical equipment power supplies
• Consumer electronics AC input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision to confirm exact leakage current values and insertion loss characteristics prior to design finalization. Ensure that the PCB footprint matches the PC pin spacing dimensions provided in the official mechanical drawing. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by your manufacturing regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-stage solution is sufficient for the target EMC requirements. The 10 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the chassis or enclosure allows for the necessary clearance and creepage distances associated with the 250 VAC rating. Consider thermal derating if ambient temperatures exceed standard operating ranges.

Part Context

This part belongs to Schurter's general-purpose power line filter series. It is distinct from multi-stage variants like the 5500.2044 which offer higher attenuation but different physical footprints. The 5500.2109 represents a compact solution for space-constrained PCB designs where single-stage performance meets regulatory needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other single-phase, single-stage filters with identical 10 A ratings and PC pin terminations. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions carefully as pin spacing may vary between manufacturers. Equivalent parts must meet the same UL and VDE safety certifications.
