4420P-601-250/201L

EMI/RFI filters are indispensable components in electrical systems. The 4420P-601-250/201L filter model is one of the most popular products of its kind.

This filter model is a standard ferrite bead filter that contains two inductors and one capacitor connected in the form of an LC network. The capacitive part of the filter consists of a 250VAC/201L ceramic disc capacitor, while the inductive elements consist of two 600mH ferrite bead inductors.

The purpose of this network is to reduce or block electro-magnetic interference by providing an AC ground impedance path which is lower than the current source, and thus reduce the propagation of unwanted radiation in the system. The filter also helps to reduce capacitive coupling between digital and analog circuits, which in turn reduces voltage transients and improves signal integrity.

The 4420P-601-250/201L filter is suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from telecoms and consumer electronics, to automotive and aerospace electronics. It can be used in any enclosed electrical system that is exposed to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The 4420P-601-250/201L filter can also be used in power supplies, motor drives, and other AC circuits that require EMI/RFI noise attenuation. To achieve the best possible performance, the components must be placed on the same PCB as the circuit to be filtered. This ensures the maximum level of noise reduction and provides the best signal integrity.

In operation, the LC network on the 4420P-601-250/201L filter works by providing a path of low impedance to unwanted frequencies. This low-impedance path forms a high-frequency AC short circuit, effectively preventing the signal from propagating further. Since the filter only affects signals at the higher end of the frequency spectrum, it does not impede the normal operating frequency of the circuit.

Overall, the 4420P-601-250/201L filter provides an effective solution to reducing the presence of unwanted noise in a wide variety of electrical applications. By providing a path of low impedance for high frequency signals, it helps ensure that the signal in the circuit remains pure and unaffected by EMI/RFI interference.
