Schurter presents a breakthrough product, providing simple and universal EMC for high frequency applications, using X2Y® filter technology. Series 5150 possesses broadband suppression properties to 1 GHz and combines them with the most simple and universal power input. This integrated and compact design provides an easy, safe and cost effective alternative to existing market solutions and opens new opportunities in the filtering of high frequencies.
Until now, X2Y® filter technology is known only for EMI protection in DC circuits. With the introduction of the Schurter 5150 series, the application of X2Y® is now extended to the area of AC power input. The technology is applied in place of X and Y capacitors, typically used in line filters today. It combines the X and Y capacitors into one component, thereby eliminating the leads connecting the capacitors and reducing parasitic impedances to a minimum. This results in broadband suppression into high frequency ranges.
The double shielding between the X2Y® filter and filter casing, together with the broad metal flange can serve as an alternative for feed-through and multi-stage filters. The compact package is designed for front- or rear-side mounting and uses the same panel cutout size as a typical filtered AC inlet. Filter variations include types for standard, medical and industrial applications.
The breakthrough design of the 5150 is the first of its kind to be safety agency approved for use in AC applications according to IEC and UL. It is ENEC approved up to 10 A 250 VAC and cURus approved up to 15 A 250 VAC. Application examples include equipment for measurement engineering, data encryption, medical engineering, IT and telecommunications. It is suitable for use in office and medical applications in accordance with IEC/EN 60950 and/or 60601-1.

This unique accessory provides a rear of panel seal to Bulgin’s panel mounting waterproof Buccaneer connectors.
The PX0799 backshell replaces the existing panel nut, fixing the connector in place, and provides dust and water protection up to IP68 between the panel and the cable at the rear. This allows a through panel seal with waterproof connections both sides of the panel whilst still retaining a re-wireable capability.
Using the same cable gland sealing system as the standard Buccaneer cable connectors, it will accommodate 6 to 8mm diameter cable as standard, extending from 3.5 to 9.0 with alternative sealing glands.

Schurter is pleased to announce the added snap-in version of the series 5003 DC power entry module for 48V telecom and other DC-powered equipment. The new DC module features two different standard connector styles, AMP Universal MATE-N-LOK and Molex HCS-125. The connectors are encased with a single stage filter rated up to 15 A at 125 VDC. The filters provide wide-band attenuation in frequencies ranging from 100 kHz to 30 MHz.
Demand for higher data processing and transmission speeds, at the Customer Premises Equipment level, pushes demand upstream to Internet Service Providers and eventually to the core Central Office services. This movement toward higher speed and functionality brings with it the challenge of effectively managing potentially harmful electro-magnetic interferences in equipment used throughout these communications systems. While filtered AC power entry modules have become a popular solution for filtering AC power lines, the concept of a DC filtered power entry module, specifically for telecom equipment, is relatively new.
The 5003 provides optimal shielding at the panel opening. It includes a screw mount version for front or rear mounting to the chassis as well as the new snap-in version. The version for rear mounting allows for pre-wiring of the module prior to installation. Labor cost saving options can be realized by using either the snap-in version or the rear mount version with its pre-threaded holes.
The non potted design provides maximum performance in a lightweight and environmentally friendly compact package. The series is ENEC and cURs approved and complies with IEC/EN 60950 standard, for office and IT equipment. Applications include network routers, LAN switches, WAN switches and multiplexers, as well as other equipment using DC power supplies.

Schurter’s new power entry modules, series DD11 and DD12, are designed to be extremely compact and robust. The DD11 is equipped with multiple functions including an IEC C14 appliance connector, switch and fuseholder. The DD12 combines the same functions and additionally includes a line filter.
The compact design makes the series ideally suited for the use in equipment with limited space and more demanding electrical and mechanical requirements. Their excellent performance ensure their potential applications are wide-ranging, they are suitable for almost any application requiring detachable power, including medical, office, household appliances and automation. When mounted perpendicular to the board, the modules fit within one rack unit (1RU) enclosures, also making them particularly ideal for IT and telecom applications.
The series mounts to the panel with screws. The filtered version has a broad metal flange, ensuring optimal contact to the appliance chassis for ideal shielding and filtering. Special filters with enhanced voltage withstand are available on request. The series is ENEC and cURus approved and complies with IEC/EN standards for office and medical equipment, 60950 and 60601-1 respectively.

Compact cost effective integrated EMC filter and IEC connector.
Schaffner, the international leader in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, has added two new products to its extensive range of filtered IEC connectors. IEC connectors and IEC filter connectors are commonly used in applications where the power cord needs to be disconnected from the end product, particularly for portable devices or to be able to deliver a product with a country-specific power cord and plug. The integrated EMC filter and IEC inlet component from Schaffner offers a cost effective solution which helps users to attain EMI approvals as well as reducing the number of components in a system. This also offers savings on handling and logistics costs at the manufacturing facility.
The new high performance, competitively priced, Schaffner FN 9244 series offers approximately 10dB more noise attenuation than the existing FN 9222 in the same compact package making it ideal for noisy applications. Medical versions meeting IEC/EN 60601-1 are available standard options. Reliability is enhanced by the use of a saturation resistant core and good thermal behaviour. High differential and common-mode attenuation is achieved and current ratings are up to 15A. Snap-in mounting versions are available to fit panel thickness from 0.7 to 2.2mm and a wide mounting flange option may be specified for ruggedised products, all models are RoHS compliant. The complementary FN 9244E offers the same high performance and functionality as the standard FN 9244 with the inclusion of an earth line choke for additional EMC suppression on the earth line.
The new FN 9244 IEC medical standard inlet filters have been developed in response to requests from our customers for high performance, compact, filtered mains connectors. We have made them the same size as our existing filter range enabling our customers to change from a standard to a high performing product without making any mechanical changes.
