Schurter's latest 5123 series filtered inlet adds filter performance to the already successful standard version 5120 series. The higher attenuation in the same compact dimensions is designed to meet the continually increasing demands for interference suppression of IT, medical, test & measurement and industrial equipment.

The new 5123 series filter combines an IEC power inlet and a line filter, designed for nominal currents up to 15A. The combination power entry unit integrates the EMC filter directly at the line input, providing an optimal effect on electromagnetic compatibility. The broad metal flange features a large amount of contact area, which further optimizes filtering and shielding effects. The filter’s increased inductance achieves a 6 dB improvement in asymmetric attenuation, compared to 5120 series and other like products on the market, corresponding to a doubling of its attenuation characteristics. Thus, the high filter performance makes the 5123 series well suited for applications such as switched-mode power supplies, where the utmost interference suppression is required.

The 5123 series is available for snap-in, screw-in or studded assembly. Screw-in assembly from the back side is particularly attractive for a plastic chassis with interior metal layers. Wiring is done with quick-connect, solder, stranded-wire or pc-board terminals. The PC version features snap-in feet for secure pc-board mounting. The stranded-wire version enables customer specific fitting for further costeffective wiring.

The 5120 and enhanced 5123 are designed for operating current levels up to 10A at 250 VAC according to IEC and 15A at 125/250 VAC according to UL. They are ENEC and cURus approved. The two series are offered in standard and medical versions suitable for use in IT applications according to IEC 60950, and medical applications according to IEC 60601-1.

- Very high attenuation
- Nominal current: up to 10A at 250 VAC (ENEC/UL/CSA) and 15A at 125/250 VAC (UL/CSA)
- Screw-in or studded assembly / snap-in assembly
- Connections: quick-connect, solder, stranded-wire or pc-board terminals
- Filters available in standard and medical versions
- Optionally available with the V-Lock cable locking system

Schurter's IEC inlet with EMI filter, series 5123, is well suited for switched-mode power supplies, which require high interference suppression. Examples include units in the IT, medical and the test & measurement sectors.

Schurter now offers its popular TA35 thermal circuit breaker with a new antibacterial protective cover, type CZM25.  This allows the TA35 to be used in applications designed to thwart the spread of bacteria, such as equipment used in medical and laboratory facilities, as well as food production plants.

The antibacterial effectiveness of the cover has been tested and confirmed according to ISO 22196, particularly the protection against the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria strains. Additionally, the silver ions contained in the protective cover prevent the growth of numerous other organisms.

The circuit breaker combined with the antibacterial cover is ideal for use in equipment where hygiene plays an important role, including equipment subjected to rigorous wash downs. The transparent antibacterial cover on the TA35 carries an IP65 rating to protect against the ingress of water and dust. It also withstands the use of common cleaning agents and disinfectants.

Schurter, as a leading supplier of EMC products is constantly improving the use of its products. The Schurter common mode chokes datasheets now contain impedance diagrams and cURus approval mark.

Current compensated chokes are used to attenuate asymmetrical noise. Such common mode noise is typical for switch circuits such as switching power supplies or inverters.  The compact chokes guarantee efficient disturbance suppression on the printed circuit board. Very compact types for surface mounting are also available as are chokes with wire leads for easy assembling for high power applications.

According to the noise level design engineers can easily select the right choke using the impedance diagram.  This may help to avoid many costly and time consuming measurements. Impedance diagrams are now available for all common mode chokes.

A safety certificate can be obtained even quicker due to the new UL approvals for our chokes.  All Schurter common mode chokes have now the combined UL and CSA approval mark cURus. They were successfully tested according to the UL 1283 and CSA 22.2 No. 8 standard. Approval marks and standards are now listed on all the data sheets.
