FN3256H-160-40

Overview

The FN3256H-160-40 is a three-phase and neutral power line filter manufactured by TE Connectivity / Schaffner. It is designed for chassis mounting and supports a rated current of 160A. The component operates within a frequency range of 0Hz to 60Hz and features terminal block termination. This industrial-grade EMC filter provides efficient interference suppression with low leakage current characteristics, suitable for demanding power conditioning applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filtering for three-phase power systems
• Engineered for compact installation in industrial equipment enclosures
• Designed to maintain system stability through efficient interference suppression

Applications

• Industrial equipment power input stages
• Three-phase motor drive systems
• Heavy machinery power conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation against the manufacturer's latest documentation to ensure correct terminal configuration and mechanical fit. Confirm that the 160A rating aligns with your specific load requirements and thermal management capabilities. Check for any recent product change notices regarding material composition or certification updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-current three-phase filtering is required in space-constrained industrial environments. Ensure the chassis mounting style matches your enclosure design constraints. Verify that the terminal block interface is compatible with your wiring harness specifications and that the operating temperature range meets your environmental conditions.
