The **06GENG3E-R** is a high-performance, single-stage power line EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter manufactured by **TE Connectivity / Corcom**. It belongs to the **G Series**, which is specifically designed for high-impedance loads and is effective in controlling noise in both common and differential modes. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Current Rating** | 6 Amps | | **Voltage Rating (Max)** | 250 VAC | | **Operating Frequency** | 50/60 Hz | | **Termination Style** | Wire Leads (G-Series standard) | | **Mounting Type** | Flange Mount | | **Leakage Current** | 0.21 mA @ 120V 60Hz / 0.36 mA @ 250V 50Hz | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components Inside An EMI filter like the 06GENG3E-R is a passive network consisting of several internal electronic parts: #### A. Common-mode Choke (Inductor) * **Function:** This is a dual-wound inductor on a single core. It provides high impedance to "common-mode" noise (signals traveling in the same direction on both line and neutral) while allowing the desired power current to pass. #### B. Y-Capacitors (Line-to-Ground) * **Function:** These capacitors are connected between the power lines and the chassis ground. They shunt high-frequency common-mode noise away from the circuit and into the earth ground. #### C. X-Capacitors (Line-to-Line) * **Function:** These are "Across-the-line" capacitors. They are used to suppress differential-mode interference (noise occurring between the hot and neutral lines). #### D. Bleeder Resistor * **Function:** A high-value resistor is often placed across the X-capacitor to discharge the stored energy once power is removed, ensuring safety for technicians touching the leads. --- ### 3. Application and Usage This part is typically used in industrial and consumer electronics where space is at a premium but high performance is required. * **Medical Equipment:** Due to its low leakage current characteristics. * **Switching Power Supplies:** To prevent high-frequency switching noise from feeding back into the main power grid. * **Measuring Instruments:** To ensure data accuracy by filtering out electrical "pollution." --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown * **06**: Rated current (6 Amps). * **GE**: Series designation (G Series). * **N**: Style of circuit/termination. * **G**: Grounding/Mounting configuration. * **3E**: Specific internal component configuration/performance tier. * **-R**: RoHS Compliant.
