FN2030A-30-08

Overview

The Schaffner FN2030A-30-08 is a high-performance single-phase EMC/EMI line filter designed for chassis mounting. It features threaded stud input and output terminals, specifically M4 posts. The component operates at a rated voltage of 250 VAC and supports a maximum rated current of 30 A. It functions within a frequency range of DC to 400 Hz. The filter utilizes a single-stage configuration to attenuate electromagnetic interference in power lines.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase EMI attenuation with metal casing for optimal earth connection
• Threaded stud termination for secure mechanical and electrical integration
• High current handling capability for demanding power applications

Applications

• Industrial machinery power supply filtering
• Medical equipment noise suppression
• General purpose AC power line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal configuration matches the design requirements, as this model uses threaded studs rather than quick-connect terminals found in other series variants. Confirm that the 30 A current rating aligns with the system's operational load. Ensure compliance with relevant safety certifications such as CSA, ENEC, or UR if required by the target market regulations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, chassis-mount solution with high current capacity is required. The threaded stud interface provides superior mechanical stability compared to screw terminals. Consider the single-stage topology for cost-effective noise reduction where extreme attenuation levels are not critical. Ensure sufficient panel space for the chassis mount footprint and verify compatibility with the available mounting hardware.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FN2030 series of single-phase filters from Schaffner. The series is characterized by its use of metal cases for enhanced shielding and earth connection. Unlike the FN2070B series which may feature quick-connect terminals, the FN2030A variant emphasizes durable threaded connections suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the FN2030B-30-08, which shares similar specifications but may differ in minor manufacturing details. Verify pinout and mounting hole dimensions against alternative models to ensure mechanical compatibility without redesigning the chassis.
