Multi-Function EMI Filters

Suppress Conducted and Radiated EMI Noise

Reduce common mode noise, differential mode noise, and spurious emissions to improve EMC performance, and system reliability.

• Advanced ceramic filters designed to attenuate unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as noise (e.g. common mode) or spurious emissions (e.g. CISPR) occurring at a specific range of frequencies.
• Unlike traditional EMI components that rely on series impedance, EF EMI Filter Series operate through a voltage-driven noise filtering mechanism
• These SMD (SMT) passthrough filters can be used in both single ended (e.g. DC source signal) and differential (e.g. +/- signal) applications.
• Effective attenuation from 100KHz to 20GHz with various bandwidths.
• Available in EIA sizes from 0402 (1005 metric) to 1812 (4532 metric) depending on frequency attenuation needs, voltage rating, and feed line geometry.
• Voltages from 10VDC to 500VDC+.

Our EF series EMI filters enable effective suppression of EMI before it propagates through the PCB, cables, or system ground paths, improving overall EMC performance.

Overview

Our multi-functional EMI Filters are designed to attenuate unwanted EM interference (commonly referred to as “noise” or “spurious emissions”) at specific frequencies, allowing DC signals to pass unaltered to critical systems by removing certain unwanted RF signals (voltage noise removal) or filter out transient frequencies. This technology can suppress both common mode and differential noise interference with attenuations of up to 70dB.

Features:

• Our Spike Eliminator Web application will direct you to the specific p/n component that will attenuate your unwanted signal (or group of signals)
• In certain applications these can replace large/expensive/heavy, wirewound (e.g. toroids), bulk electrolytic capacitors, and ferrites.
• Drastically reduces PCB space utilization and BPM count in a cost-effective manner
• DC current path flows straight through the conductor pad and therefore not current limited
• Ultra Low ESL (equivalent series inductance) provides low impedance to ground at high frequencies.
• High reliability with temperature & vibration stability

Benefits:

• Replaces up to 10 discrete capacitive components with 1 EF EMI Filter
• In certain EMI scenarios, these filters can replace or significantly reduce the need for discrete components such as ferrites, wirewound (toroids), or bulk electrolytic capacitors by providing localized targeted noise suppression
• Reduces compliance testing time and cost
• Up to 30% Via Reduction

Applications:

• DC‑DC converters and power supplies
• Military and defense
• Brushless motor drives and industrial automation systems
• PLC I/O and control signal filtering
• FPGA / ASIC / microprocessor power rails
• High-speed digital and RF signal lines
• Automotive electronics and LED drivers
• Wireless charging systems
• Medical electronics
• Aerospace critical systems
• EV systems and battery management
• Industrial and consumer electronics Amplifier Filtering & Decoupling
• High Speed Data Filtering
• EMC I/O Filtering
