Performance indicators
The FN9255 IEC inlet filter incorporates a dual stage
filter into an IEC inlet that offers excellent filter
attenuation in a compact housing. Using an IEC inlet,
at the point of entry offers an optimized position and
practical solution for integrating an EMC filter into any
system. A wide selection of current ratings, output
connections and mounting possibilities are available.
The filter family also offers options that comply to
medical application requirements and the entire
family complies to all necessary safety approvals.
