Barrier Strip EMI Filtered Terminal Blocks Now Offer 90° Lead Bends



Fairview, PA - July 10, 2007 - Spectrum Control, Inc. has designed a custom EMI filtered barrier strip terminal block with pre-bent leads to allow for easier installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This bent lead design was created for fast and easy installation, as PCBs are parallel to the housing bottom of the block. These new terminal blocks are appropriate for filtering power supplies in telecommunications equipment, metering, instrumentation, EDP equipment and industrial controls.

The barrier strip filtered terminal block is designed to provide excellent EMI/RFI filtering of AC and DC power and control lines and is a cost effective solution for backplane EMI leakage problems. This terminal block is UL recognized and CSA approved for DC voltages, has a 20 Amp rating and capacitance values from 2,500pF to 5,200pF. These terminal blocks are available in 2 through 6 terminal sizes and its rugged construction provides protection to the filtering element.

Spectrum Control's custom EMI filtered barrier strip terminal blocks with 90° leads have pricing ranging from $20 to $50 depending on configurations and quantities required.
