Test Equipment Description

FTC-10 - 10 Microfarad ( µF ) Feed-Thru Capacitor APPLICATION

Starting with the FTC-10 - 10 Microfarad ( µF ) Feed-Thru Capacitor, The EMC Shop Offers a series of 10 μF feed-thru capacitors which are specially designed to be used in RFI/EMI test setups such as MIL-STD-461A/462A. Many other specifications, such as RTCA DO-160G. In this application, the capacitor provides a low RF impedance across the power source so that EMI currents produced by the equipment under test can be accurately measured with a current probe.

The feed-thru capacitor is used for added filtering in conjunction with line impedance stabilization networks. The 10 µF feed-thru capacitor can also be used as a power-line filter installed in the wall of a shielded enclosure or equipment cabinet. The capacitor provides adequate insertion loss without suffering the power current saturation limitation of conventional filters which employ toroidal inductors.

FTC-10 - 10 Microfarad ( µF ) Feed-Thru Capacitor DESCRIPTION

The EMC Shop feed-thru capacitors, ensure highly reliable and ruggedly constructed units for general use in screen rooms and other environments. The metal case with four husky threaded inserts lends itself to convenient installation with minimal effort.

The threaded feed-thru stud will accommodate the power current of the listed rating without heating or voltage loss. Table 2 indicates the available current and voltage ratings of the FTC-10 - 10 µF Feed-Thru Capacitors. All have low dissipation factors, high temperature ratings, high insulation resistance, doubly rated dielectric strength, and long life characteristics. To satisfy safety requirements, a bleeder resistor is included within the capacitors, which serves to discharge the capacitors when applied voltage is removed.
