5500.2231

Overview

The Schurter 5500.2231 is a dual-pole DC EMI/RFI filter designed for chassis mounting within the FMEB series. It supports a current rating of 15A and operates at voltages up to 80V DC with a tolerance of ±80V. The component features an inductance of 100uH and a capacitance of 100nF. It utilizes screw mount terminals for secure installation. The unit complies with UL, CSA, VDE, and EN standards, ensuring suitability for industrial power line filtering applications requiring robust electromagnetic interference suppression.

Feature Summary

• Dual-pole architecture for effective DC noise attenuation
• Chassis mount configuration with screw terminal connections
• Compliance with major international safety certifications including UL, CSA, VDE, and EN

Applications

• DC power line filtering in industrial equipment
• Electromagnetic interference suppression for sensitive electronic systems
• Power supply input stages requiring high current handling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage and current requirements against the 80V DC and 15A ratings before procurement. Confirm that the chassis mount style and screw terminal interface match the mechanical design constraints of the target enclosure. Ensure compliance with required regional safety standards such as UL or VDE is documented for the final assembly certification process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-pole solution is necessary for DC applications operating at 15A. The 100uH inductance and 100nF capacitance values provide specific attenuation characteristics suitable for general EMI suppression. Consider the physical dimensions of 89 x 71 x 43mm for spatial planning within the equipment chassis during the initial design phase.
