Schaffner has announced the availability of the new FN2520 and FN2660 high-performance EMC filters. These products join the original FN2500 and FN2640 models, expanding the range of filters designed for robotics and data centers. This new EMC filter series was developed to meet the specific needs of these two growing markets, which have a common technical need that the new filter series can now meet.
The new FN2500 and FN2640 EMC filters meet IEC 62368-1 - Audio/video, information and communication technology and equipment and IEC/EN 60335-1 - Household and similar electrical appliances, climate class 40/10 0/21 to IEC60068-1, Certified to UL 60939-3, IEC/EN 60939-3, GB/T 15287 and -103 requirements for terminal protection class IP00 / IP20.
Many applications, including robotics, data centers, and automated machines, require power supplies to be installed in 19-inch rack cabinets. To meet this requirement and provide system manufacturers with seamless integration, the company has packaged the new EMC filter family into a space-saving 1U rackmount design. Main standard features include input voltage 250VAC @ DC to 60Hz (FN2500 277VAC/400VDC), output current 10A to 20A @ 40C, MTBF >30000h, operating temperature range -40C to +100C (derating >40C).
The new EMC filters are available with various connection options. These include, for the FN2500 and FN2520, push-on terminals, cable glands, screw terminals or spring terminals on the inputs and outputs. The FN2640 and FN2660 offer IEC C14 (10-15A) or IEC C20 (16-20A) input connectors for direct mains connection and various output connectors.
