FN3256H-16-29 datasheet by Schaffner

FN3256H-16-29 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and spacing for optimal performance of the FN3256H-16-29?
  Schaffner recommends a minimum of 2mm spacing between the filter and other components, and a PCB layout that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). A good practice is to follow the recommended layout guidelines provided in the application note.
• How does the FN3256H-16-29 handle high-frequency noise and transients?
  The FN3256H-16-29 is designed to attenuate high-frequency noise and transients through its proprietary filter design, which includes a combination of inductive and capacitive components. The filter's high-frequency attenuation is typically above 30 dB at frequencies above 30 MHz.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the FN3256H-16-29?
  The FN3256H-16-29 is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, with a maximum storage temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Operating the filter outside of this range may affect its performance and reliability.
• Can the FN3256H-16-29 be used in safety-critical applications?
  Yes, the FN3256H-16-29 is designed to meet the requirements of safety-critical applications, such as those found in industrial control systems, medical devices, and transportation systems. However, it is essential to follow the recommended design and testing guidelines to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards.
• How does the FN3256H-16-29 affect the signal integrity of the system?
  The FN3256H-16-29 is designed to minimize signal distortion and attenuation, ensuring that the signal integrity of the system is maintained. The filter's insertion loss is typically less than 1 dB, and its impedance is matched to minimize signal reflections.
