EP/VP Series

RFI Power Line Filters for Switching Power Supply Noise Suppression

UL Recognized
CSA Certified
VDE Approved

Catalog Data Sheet

EP / VP Series

The EP/VP series of RFI filters has been developed to reduce conducted noise to acceptable limits for equipment that must comply with the requirements of CISPR in Europe and the FCC specifications in the USA. These filters provide high insertion loss for both lineto- ground and line-to-line emissions throughout the frequency range. They are particularly well suited for equipment to better meet both stringent emissions specifications (such as CISPR 22, A-level and FCC Part 15J, Class B) and the EP models meet very low leakage current requirements.

Tyco Electronics Corcom Products has extended the EP Series of Power Line Filters by adding a 7 Amp and 12 Amp versions to the existing 3, 6, 10, and 20 Amp product offering. The new filters offer higher performance in a smaller package at a lower price than the existing 6 Amp and 10 Amp versions. The new filters are RoHS compliant.
