Schaffner recommends a minimum of 2mm spacing between the filter and other components, and a solid ground plane underneath the filter to minimize electromagnetic interference. A good PCB layout should also ensure that the input and output traces are separated and not routed close to each other.
The FN286-6-06 is rated for operation up to 80°C, but its performance may degrade at higher temperatures. Schaffner recommends derating the filter's current rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 60°C to ensure reliable operation.
While the FN286-6-06 meets general EMC standards, it may not meet the specific requirements of medical or aerospace applications. Engineers should consult Schaffner's application notes and relevant industry standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2 or DO-160) to ensure the filter meets the necessary requirements.
The FN286-6-06 is designed to attenuate high-frequency noise and transients, but its performance may vary depending on the specific noise characteristics. Engineers should consider the filter's insertion loss, impedance, and resonance points when designing their system.
Yes, the FN286-6-06 can be used in redundant or parallel configurations to achieve higher current ratings or improved reliability. However, engineers should ensure that the filters are properly synchronized and that the system is designed to handle the increased power and thermal requirements.
