DESCRIPTION
he SFMC28-461™ EMI filters provide an off-the-shelf filtering solu-
tion compliant to MIL-PRF-38534, Class H or Class K, for use in
your space system. SFMC28-461 filters reduce the input line
reflected ripple current of Interpoint’s switching DC/DC converters.
Use an SFMC28-461 filter with Interpoint’s SMSA and SMHF series
of DC/DC converters to meet MIL-STD-461C levels of conducted
emission (CE01, CE03). The SFMC filters are designed exclusively
with passive components providing maximum tolerance for space
environments.
FILTER DESIGN
SFMC28-461 filters incorporate thick-film hybrid technology and use
only high quality ceramic capacitors for reliable high temperature
operation.
Derating according to the requirements of MIL-STD-975 assures
dependable performance in the harsh environments of space. MIL-
STD-975 derating applies to operating temperatures at or below
90°C.
The SFMC28-461 EMI filters offer the following options to meet the
special requirements of space applications:
All SFMC28-461 filters are built to the same assembly drawing
regardless of environmental screening or radiation tolerance level.
Filters designated level OO, indicating standard environmental
screening, are electrically comparable to filters designated level KH,
the highest environmental screening level. This ensures consis-
tency between your prototype or test system using level OO filters
and your flight system using filters with higher levels of environ-
mental screening and radiation tolerance. Element evaluation
(screening at the component level) of Class H or Class K filters
ensures even greater reliability. Refer to Table 1, 2, and 3 for more
information.

or Class K (K) requirements. See page four for screening
details.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
RIPPLE REDUCTION
The filter operates at full load over the temperature range of -55°C
to +125°C case. Above +125°C, the current must be derated as
specified on page two.
The SFMC28-461 EMI filter, when used with Interpoint’s converters,
reduces reflected input ripple current by a minimum of 55 dB at 500
kHz and 60 dB at 1 MHz. The filter and converter combination
performance exceeds the CEO3 requirements of MIL-STD-461C.
PACKAGING FOR SPACE
SFMC28-461 EMI filters are encased in high-reliability, hermetically-
sealed metal packages and weigh just 48 grams. A small footprint of
2.110 Inches (53.59 mm) by 1.115 inches (28.32 mm) by 0.400
inches (10.16 mm) minimizes the board area needed for the filter.
Cover marking inks are NASA approved to Total Mass Loss (TML)
and Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM) outgassing
requirements for operation in space environments.
INSERTION LOSS
The maximum DC insertion loss for the SFMC28-461 filter (at a load
of 22 watts) represents an output power loss of less than 2%.
