Motor Line Feed-Through Filters Now in Stock as Standards
Share:
Fairview, PA - August 18, 2008 - Spectrum Control, Inc.'s line of motor line feed-through filters (MLFT), a flexible low cost solution to EMI (RF) noise issues, now feature standard part numbers and are in stock for sampling. These filters provide EMI protection for DC Motor and other low voltage applications and offer significant insertion loss to pass global conductive and radiated EMC tests, such as CISPR 25.
Spectrum's MLFT filters are designed as a one-component solution to eliminate the need for multiple capacitors, inductive coils, leads and PCB assemblies requiring numerous electrical connections and large amounts of space. These filters can be engineered into existing mechanical packages allowing for an easy retro fit to current designs or as a custom one-piece assembly to simplify production/installation at a reduced overall cost.
The MLFT Technology was originally created to solve the filtering needs of DC motors allowing them to pass the stringent standards placed on these motors. These filters are not limited to just automotive applications, but can be designed for almost any application that requires high capacitance at lower voltages. Some of these applications include communication equipment, industrial process controls, medical equipment, cable telemetry, military equipment and wireless devices.
Standard MLFT part numbers include filters with single and dual lines, stamped and threaded housings, Faston and round-lead terminals, with capacitance values to .18µF and up to 100 Volts. Custom mechanical packages are available, as well as higher capacitance values, and transient voltage and surge protection. Spectrum Control's motor line feed-through (MLFT) filters have pricing ranging from $0.40 to $1.20 depending on configuration and quantities required.
