5121 Series Filtered Appliance Inlets with Flexible Wires

SCHURTER’s 5121 filtered appliance inlets meet the increasing demand for smaller electronic equipment. This compact filter series features an IEC C14 inlet with capacitors and a fully enclosed steel housing that reliably shields high-frequency interference conducted through cables or radiated interference.

Especially suited for applications with shallow installation depth, the 5121 filter series suppresses the equipment’s high-frequency interference at the mains input. In contrast, other low-frequency filter components, such as chokes and capacitors, can be placed elsewhere on the PCB. The 5121 features a version for flange mounting and snap-in mounting. The flange is offered with plastic upon metal or metal only. The snap-in version features snap arms. Securing the metal flange to the chassis with metal screws or the snap-in version with snap arms ensures optimal shielding at the panel opening, which reduces the coupling effect and the radio frequency’s ability to travel. The snap arms also provide a clean, neat look using less panel space and installation time.

The 5121 series is available in standard and medical M80 versions, making it well-suited for laboratory, industrial, medical, telecom, audio/video, and office equipment. It is ENEC, CQC, and cURus approved for currents up to 10 A/250 V_AC according to IEC and up to 15 A at 125 V_AC/250 V_AC according to UL and CSA. It has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. Supplied with flexible wires for ease of installation, the 5121 series is also V-lock power cord compatible.
