Ground Line EMI Filters for Internal Grounding of Equipment

Ground Line EMI Filters for Internal Grounding of Equipment Description:

Miniature ground line filter GLE04-01 is designed to reduce noise on ground inside the equipment.  SMT pick-and-place machines and other production tools, testers, industrial automation and alike have multiple internal metal parts grounded in order to reduce possibility of electrostatic discharge.  While regular grounding is sufficient for management of ESD risk, it does not address an issue of high-frequency noise (EMI) on ground and resulting electrical overstress (EOS) to sensitive components. 

Most manufacturing tools utilize servo and variable frequency motors, switched-mode power supplies, relays, solenoids and other components that generate high-frequency noise which pollutes ground inside the tools.  Ground filter GLE04-01 connected in line with ESD grounding provides significant reduction of EMI and EOS in addition to maintaining sub-1 Ohm resistance for proper ESD protection.
