Filtering

Managing EMI is a recurring challenge in electronic systems where circuit components are in close proximity. EMI effects can range from a minor impact on signal quality to equipment malfunction. KEMET offers an extensive component selection for both radiated and conduction emissions.

Overview

Overview

Electromagnetic interference or EMI arising from the switching elements of electronic systems can cause unwanted effects and operation. Mitigating electrical noise is a common challenge within densely populated designs and is required for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with many different regulatory agencies. One of the most common solutions for safety-rated EMC filtering capacitors are based on film technology. Their self-healing and high slew-rate capabilities make them optimal solutions for EMC in mains-connected power supplies and in automotive.

KEMET offers Flex Suppressor®, chokes, and safety capacitors for filtering radiated and conducted electrical noise in defense, industrial, and medical devices.

Connectivity is an essential aspect of Industry 4.0. On today’s smart factory floors, IoT-enabled equipment can communicate in real-time, allowing entire processes to be completed without human intervention. Much of that connectivity is also the cause of unwanted EMI, which can result in equipment malfunction and power quality issues.

  • Along with common mode and differential mode chokes, KEMET offers dual mode chokes that can do the job of both parts in one footprint
  • EMI cores for many different wire types and diameters
  • Flex Suppressor can mitigate radiated noise and be applied late in the design cycle when EMI arises
  • Film capacitor’s self-healing and high pulse capacity can safely be used in X/Y circuit locations that due to their compliance with safety regulations

Personal devices are an integral part of the lives of billions of people around the world, being used in countless daily activities. Many electronic devices contain sophisticated circuit boards with thousands of discrete components that can result in an EMI issue within the device or emit electromagnetic radiation outside of the device.

  • Flex Suppressor is an ideal alternative to copper tape without the need of a ground
  • The same 0201 ferrite beads used in medical devices are just as effective in many compact personal devices
