Cylindrical Style EMI Filters
BL Series – .375 Dia. – Button Epoxy Sealed –
Circuits Available – C & L
APPLICATIONS
The BL series offers effective filtering from
30 KHz up through 1 GHz. It offers epoxy
resin seals on both ends in order to
optimize volumetric efficiency and reduce
cost. Where severe moisture environments
exist the slightly larger companion BK
series is recommended as it incorporates
a glass to metal hermetic seal at both
ends. The BL series is designed for bulk-
head mounting in a slotted hole with nut
and lockwasher supplied. This series is
ideal for low to medium impedance
circuits where large amounts of capaci-
tance to ground can be tolerated. In the
“L” section version an internal ferrite bead
element provides both inductance and
series resistance (lossy characteristic)
which improves insertion loss at lower
current ratings and provides superior
transient performance.
Alternate lead configurations or special
capacitance values may be ordered.
Custom packages or filter arrays utilizing
the BL series can be furnished.
CHARACTERISTICS
• Internal ferrite bead provides inductance
for the L-section version.
• High DC current rating: 15 Amps.
