B85121A2103C160

Overview

The EPCOS B85121A2103C160 is a feed-through capacitor designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filtering. It features a capacitance of 10,000 pF with a tolerance of ±20%. The component is rated for a maximum voltage of 600V and supports a continuous current of 16 A. It utilizes an M10x0.75 thread size for mounting. This axial leaded device is constructed to provide effective suppression of electromagnetic interference in power supply and signal lines.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective electromagnetic interference suppression in power and signal circuits
• Features a robust threaded mechanical design for secure panel mounting
• Supports high continuous current handling capabilities

Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• Signal line noise suppression
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet specifications before integration, as product status may vary. Confirm that the M10x0.75 thread size matches your enclosure requirements. Ensure the 600V rating and 16A current capacity meet your circuit's operational limits. Check for any specific RoHS or REACH compliance documentation required for your region. Validate that the obsolete status does not impact long-term availability needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-current EMC filtering is required in a compact axial form factor. The M10x0.75 threading allows for direct panel installation without additional adapters. Consider the 10,000 pF capacitance value for its specific frequency attenuation characteristics. Ensure the 600V DC rating exceeds the peak operating voltage of the application. Evaluate the thermal performance under continuous 16A load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EPCOS feed-through capacitor series, which are specialized components for EMC applications. These capacitors integrate the dielectric directly into the conductive path, offering low parasitic inductance compared to standard capacitors. The series is commonly used in industrial electronics and automotive systems where reliable noise suppression is critical for regulatory compliance.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify compatibility with alternative feed-through capacitors by matching the M10x0.75 thread size, 10,000 pF capacitance, 600V rating, and 16A current handling capability.
