AHM-L15

Overview

The Ohmite AHM-L15 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter module designed for medical applications. It features a dual-stage architecture to suppress electromagnetic interference. The unit supports a current rating of 15 A and operates at a voltage rating of 250 VAC at 50/60 Hz. It utilizes quick-connect terminals for installation and is rated for chassis mounting. The operating temperature range extends from -25°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-stage filtering architecture for enhanced noise suppression
• Compliance with IEC 60601-1 standard for medical equipment safety
• Designed to ensure minimal leakage currents in sensitive environments

Applications

• Medical device power supply input filtering
• Healthcare equipment requiring low leakage current
• Single-phase AC power line EMI suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific procurement order explicitly confirms compliance with IEC 60601-1 standards, as this certification is critical for medical applications. Ensure the supplier documentation matches the Ahm-L15 designation to confirm the dual-stage configuration and 15 A current rating are present. Request test reports or certificates of conformity to validate the leakage current performance claims before integration into regulated medical systems.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing medical-grade equipment requiring certified EMI filtration with strict leakage current limits. The dual-stage design offers superior attenuation compared to single-stage alternatives. Verify that the system's maximum continuous current does not exceed 15 A and that the operating environment remains within the specified -25°C to 85°C thermal range to maintain filter efficacy and safety compliance.
