5500.2123

Overview

The Schurter 5500.2123 is a single-phase EMC/EMI power line filter designed for PCB mounting. It features through-hole termination and supports AC voltages of 125 VAC and 250 VAC with a rated current of 2 A at 50/60 Hz. The unit is classified as a single-stage filter, optimized for standard or medical applications. Key electrical specifications include a maximum leakage current of 250 µA and an inductance value of 800 µH. The component complies with UL, CSA, VDE, and EN safety standards, ensuring suitability for regulated electronic equipment environments requiring effective noise suppression.

Feature Summary

• Single-stage electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering architecture
• Optimized design for medical and standard electronic applications
• Through-hole PCB mounting configuration for secure installation

Applications

• Medical electronic equipment power supplies
• Standard industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics requiring EMI compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and compliance certificates (UL, CSA, VDE, EN) prior to procurement. Confirm that the through-hole pin spacing matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 250 VAC rating and that the load current remains within the 2 A limit. Check for any specific medical device certification requirements if used in healthcare contexts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-stage solution is required for low-current AC lines. It is suitable for applications prioritizing medical-grade compliance alongside standard EMI reduction. Consider the physical dimensions and lead form factor against available board space. Evaluate thermal constraints as the filter dissipates heat under continuous load conditions.
