Available now from Schaffner EMC Ltd are the company's first high-current IEC inlet filters.
At the heart of any system reliable, stable and noise free power is essential.
Schaffner's unique, patented, high-current DC power connector with integrated EMC filter represents a milestone for EMC solutions.
Designed for use in electricity networks with high currents, the Acara system offers significant savings in both component and assembly costs.
Schaffner components such as the Acara filtered connector help ensure the reliability and continuity of communication infrastructures today and for the future.
The leading edge connector technology developed by Anderson Power Products combined with the filter expertise of Schaffner offers high reliability in a compact design.
The mechanical design has been developed for fast mounting and the positive latch mechanism keeps mated connectors firmly together, whilst the polarized housings protect against reverse polarity connection.
The design of the case and the contacts make Acara hot pluggable under load (according UL1977), and the system carries UL, CSA and ENEC approval - as expected in the global market.
With filter performance offering conducted noise attenuation up to 10GHz and capable of handling DC currents of up to 250A, Acara is a revolutionary solution for applications such as: enterprise servers, telecomms basestations, switches, routers, UPSs, military applications and medical equipment.
