MEA1608LC150T001 Filters

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) are everyday problems that arise from ever-increasing electronic devices in the modern world. Electrical systems must be designed to take these issues into account, which is why EMI/RFI filters such as the MEA1608LC150T001 are so important. By blocking unwelcome signals, the filter controls both “noise” and signal distortion, preventing it from entering the system and promoting a more reliable system.

The MEA1608LC150T001 is a surface-mount quad line EMI/RFI filter from C&K that has a low outgassing plastic package. It has an operating temperature of -55°C to +125°C and a maximum voltage of 150Vrms. This high-performance filter contains two 15µH inductors, four 100pF capacitors, one 10Ω resistor, and a single common mode line choke arrangement.

Application Field and Working Principle

The MEA1608LC150T001 EMI/RFI filter is ideal for board-level EMI/RFI filtering in a wide range of applications, including audio, industrial equipment, healthcare, gaming consoles, and power supply systems. It has low insertion loss and high attenuation throughout the frequency range, making it perfect for high-speed applications.

The MEA1608LC150T001 helps reduce EMI/RFI noise in a system by using a combination of inductance and capacitance that create a filter network. The filter network is designed to attenuate or block unwanted signals while passing the desired signals. The inductors in the filter provide a high-impedance path to the filter, blocking the unwanted signals from entering the system. The capacitors then help to reduce any high-frequency signals that may still be present.

The filter also features a 10Ω resistor that helps to dampen any overshoots or ground loop currents, as well as a common mode line choke which helps to reduce noise and signal distortion. All of these components working together allow the filter to provide the highest levels of EMI/RFI protection.

The MEA1608LC150T001 is an excellent choice for applications that require noise reduction, signal reliability, and low outgassing plastic packaging. It is a must-have device for applications that require protection against EMI/RFI noise. It provides the highest levels of EMI/RFI protection while still allowing the desired signals to pass through unaltered.
