TDK-Lambda News

Lambda has introduced two EMI filter series that comply with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive. The new MC12 and MZ12 families of filters have been specifically designed for use in a number of industrial applications ranging from process control to medical equipment.

The MC12 filters provide excellent low-frequency noise attenuation and are ideal for equipment that needs low conducted emissions. The MZ12 filters also greatly reduce potentially damaging input pulses for equipment that is being used on the factory floor or applications with large input transients. Both series accept a single-phase voltage of up to 250VAC and are available in 6-, 10-, 16-, 20- and 30-amp ratings.

The filters can also be specified with the standard 1-milliamp or very low 10-microamp leakage current option for use in medical, gaming or other ground-current-sensitive applications.

In addition to the popular DIN rail mounting option , the MC12 and MZ12 EMI filters are available in a chassis-mount version. All models share a common case size of 97 x 60 x 35 mm. Connection has been simplified by the use of a unique captive screw that accepts industry-standard ring terminals. A built-in hinged cover has been provided to protect the user against electric shock.

Both series have been safety-agency approved to UL1283 and EN133200.
