Schaffner recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the filter's input and output stages separated by a ground plane to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). A good layout practice is to keep the input and output traces as short as possible and avoid crossing them over each other.
Proper grounding and earthing are crucial for the filter's performance and safety. Ensure that the filter's metal case is connected to the system's chassis ground, and the earth pin on the filter is connected to a reliable earth point. Avoid multiple earth points, as they can create ground loops.
While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it's essential to note that the filter's performance may degrade at higher temperatures. For optimal performance, it's recommended to operate the filter within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
Yes, the FN2010-10-07 is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g (according to IEC 60068-2-6). However, it's essential to ensure that the filter is properly mounted and secured to the system's chassis to prevent mechanical stress and damage.
To troubleshoot issues with the FN2010-10-07, start by checking the filter's input and output voltages, currents, and temperatures. Verify that the filter is properly installed, and the system's grounding and earthing are correct. Check for signs of physical damage, such as burnt components or broken solder joints. If the issue persists, consult Schaffner's application notes and technical support resources.
