Ranatec introduces next generation AC Feedthru Filters with 10 Amp rated current

2024-05-08

Gothenburg, Sweden, May 8, 2024 — Ranatec, a part of Qamcom Group and progressive creator of test and measurement equipment for RF and microwave applications, announced today its next-generation panel mountable AC power feedthrough filters. Addressing the needs of an evolving electronics market, the upgraded RI 4205 and RI 4206 110/230 VAC feedthrough filters provide a milestone 10 Amp rated current. Designed to fit in Ranatec’s RF shield boxes, both feedthrough filters can also be used separately.

The latest Ranatec innovations in AC feedthrough filter technology empower electronics manufacturers to perform the enhanced testing for creating market leading products. The next-generation AC feedthrough filters RI 4205 and R! 4206 are valuable tools for all types of applications where AC power needs to be fed through a shielded wall.

“As an example, with shielded rooms, customers will have the ability to test more transmitters and receivers,” says Charlotte Ornstein at Ranatec.

“As the power in the AC filter is designed to flow in one direction for safety, we have designed two models for the customer to choose from, based on inside or outside room/enclosure mounting. As Ranatec continues to innovate and provide the best advancements to support our global network of customers and partners, the enhanced RI 4205 and RI 4206 feedthrough filters are a valuable addition to our rich portfolio of test products.”

FAQ

A feedthrough filter is a passive electronic component that suppresses high-frequency noise by providing a low impedance path to ground. It is installed in a conductive bulkhead or shielded enclosure to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from passing through. As such, they are sometimes also referred to as EMI-filters.

If a feedthrough filter fails, it can lead to increased EMI, causing signal degradation, interference with sensitive electronics, or even system malfunctions. In extreme cases, a shorted filter can disrupt power supply circuits, while an open failure may render filtering ineffective.

The applications of AC feedthrough filters include, but are not limited to: 

  • Preventing interference in medical equipment to ensure accurate diagnostics.
  • Maintaining signal integrity in aerospace and defense avionics and communications.
  • Reducing noise in telecommunications, including base stations and network infrastructure.
  • Protecting sensitive control circuits from electrical noise in industrial automation.
  • Ensuring clean power for precision processes in semiconductor manufacturing.
