Schaffner recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the filter placed close to the power entry point, and the input and output lines should be routed separately to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
While the FN2010-12-07 is rated for operation up to 80°C, it's recommended to derate the current handling capacity by 1% for every degree above 50°C to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating.
The FN2010-12-07 is designed to attenuate high-frequency noise and transients through its proprietary filter design, which includes a combination of X- and Y-capacitors, inductors, and resistors. However, it's still important to follow proper PCB design and layout practices to minimize the impact of high-frequency noise.
The FN2010-12-07 is rated for up to 10A of continuous current, but it's recommended to consider the power loss and thermal characteristics of the filter when designing for high-power applications. Schaffner provides thermal derating curves and power loss calculations to help with this process.
The FN2010-12-07 meets the requirements of various safety standards, including IEC 60939 and UL 1283. However, it's essential to consult with Schaffner's application engineers and follow the relevant safety standards and guidelines to ensure the filter is used in a safety-critical application.
