ZSC000D

Overview

The ZSC000D is a hermetic feedthrough capacitor from the EMI Filter Company, designed for high-frequency noise suppression in sealed environments. It features a 0 pF capacitance value with a rated voltage of 200 VDC and a maximum current handling capacity of 10 A. The component utilizes an axial package configuration with a .156-inch flange and a .128-inch hermetic barrel, adhering to industry standard dimensions. This design ensures reliable electrical isolation and effective electromagnetic interference filtering while maintaining environmental sealing integrity.

Feature Summary

• Hermetic sealing capability for use in pressurized or vacuum environments
• Axial lead configuration with standardized flange dimensions
• High current handling rating suitable for power line applications

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic enclosures requiring hermetic sealing
• Medical equipment needing radiation shielding and noise reduction
• Industrial control systems operating in harsh environmental conditions

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a 0 pF feedthrough configuration, as this indicates a direct conductive path with capacitive grounding rather than signal filtering. Confirm mechanical fitment against the .156-inch flange and .128-inch barrel specifications. Ensure the system voltage does not exceed the 200 VDC rating and that current loads remain within the 10 A limit. Check for any specific hermeticity testing requirements mandated by the end-use environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both electromagnetic interference mitigation and environmental sealing are critical. The 0 pF specification suggests its primary role may be providing a low-impedance ground return path through the chassis barrier rather than attenuating specific frequency bands via capacitance. Consider the thermal management capabilities required for continuous 10 A operation. Evaluate if the axial mounting style aligns with the panel thickness and hole spacing constraints of the target enclosure design.

Part Context

The ZSC000D belongs to the ZS 'C' circuit series produced by EMI Filter Company. This series specializes in feedthrough capacitors that integrate filtering functions directly into the connector interface. These components are distinct from standard discrete capacitors as they provide a complete hermetic seal while managing electromagnetic noise. The product status is listed as active, indicating ongoing manufacturing support.

Replacement Considerations

Identify substitutes based on matching the .156-inch flange diameter and .128-inch barrel size to ensure physical compatibility. Verify that alternative parts maintain the 200 VDC rating and 10 A current capacity. Ensure the replacement also offers hermetic sealing properties if used in sealed enclosures.
