IEC connectors incorporate high-performance RFI filters
Tyco Electronics is launching new EJ series IEC connector packages with integral RFI filters. Dependant upon application, the EJ series RFI filter connectors are supplied for snap-in (EJS version) or screw-mounting (EEJ version) and include improvements that result in higher attenuation and also substantially improved HF-shielding due to the extended metal flanges around the sockets.
The EJ series connectors' compact dimensions, simple mounting and connection options make the units suitable for a wide range of electrical and electronic applications where connection to the mains is made using an IEC connector.
EJ series units are equipped with an IEC 320/C14 connector for currents of 1-15A (VDE 10A) and, for higher current levels of up to 20A (VDE 16A), with an IEC 320/C20 connector. In addition to the standard models,
Tyco Electronics offers a medical (EJH) series that features a maximum leakage current of 5uA, making the device fully compliant with UL/IEC regulations for medical and dental devices.
All versions of the EJ series of RFI filter connector packages are UL and VDE approved and are also RoHS-compliant. Due to their outstanding price/performance ratio, the RFI filter connector packages are useful for a variety of interference suppression problems.
