FMSA SERIES™ EMI FILTER
The FMSA-461 EMI filter modules have been designed as a
companion for Interpoint MSA flyback power converters. Multiple
MSA power converters can be operated from a single filter provided
the total power line current does not exceed the filter maximum
rating. The FMSA filter will reduce the MSA’s power line reflected
ripple current to within the limit of MIL-STD-461C, Method CE03, as
shown in the example of Figures 4 and 5.
The FMSA is fabricated using thick film hybrid technology and is
sealed in a metal package for military, aerospace and other appli-
cations requiring EMI suppression. The filter uses only ceramic
capacitors for reliable high temperature operation.
comply with CE03. For MHF, MHF+, MHD, and MHE models, the
converter has an LC type line filter such that an inductor is seen
looking into its positive input terminal. For these converters, it is
necessary to terminate the filter with a capacitor to insure uncondi-
tionally stable operation. A capacitor across the filter output termi-
nals of greater than 4μF or the optional damping circuit shown on
the connection diagram will be adequate for stable operation. No
capacitor is required for MSA, or DCH models.

The optional damping circuit (Figure 2) can be used to prevent filter
overshoot caused by MIL-STD-704A 80 V, or other, transients
having rise times of less than 200 μSec. This damping can be alter-
nately provided with a 1.50 Ω resistor in series with the filter positive
input where the additional line loss can be tolerated. For transients
with rise times of greater than 200 μsec, there is no overshoot and
the damping circuit is not required.

PERATION
The MSA power converter has an internal 2 μF capacitor across its
input power terminals. When the MSA and FMSA filters are used
together, this capacitor becomes part of the filter and forms its final
LC output section. When 2 or 3 MSAs are used with a single filter,
this capacitor becomes 4 μF or 6 μF respectively, rather than 2 μF,
improving the rejection vs. frequency.
The FMSA filter can also be used with other types of Interpoint
power converters (MHF, MHF+, MHE, MHD, and DCH series) to

The case of the filter must be connected to the case of the converter
through a low impedance connection to minimize EMI.

FMGA SERIES™ EMI FILTER
Interpoint’s surface mount FMGA-461™ EMI filter has been
designed to work with Interpoint’s surface mount MGA and MGH
Series DC/DC converters. Multiple MGA or MGH Series converters
can be operated from a single FMGA filter provided the total power
line current does not exceed the filter’s maximum rating. The FMGA
filter will reduce the converter’s power line reflected ripple current to
within the limit of MIL-STD-461C, Method CE03 as shown in Figures
4 through 7. The filter uses only ceramic capacitors for reliable high-
temperature operation.
microseconds. The damping circuit can be used with a 1.50 Ω
resistor in series with the filter’s positive input where the additional
line loss can be tolerated. For transients with rise times of greater
than 200 microseconds, there is no overshoot and the damping
circuit is not required.

ACKAGE
The FMGA EMI filter can be surface mounted with pick-and-place
equipment or manually. It is recommended that the case be
attached with flexible epoxy adhesive or silicone which is thermally
conductive (>1 watt /meter/°K).
Internal components are soldered with SN96 (melting temperature
221°C) to prevent damage during reflow. Maximum reflow tempera-
ture for surface mounting the FMGA filter is 220°C for a maximum
of 30 seconds. SN60, 62, or 63 are the recommended types of
solder. Hand soldering should not exceed 300°C for 10 seconds per
pin.
The hermetically sealed metal cases are available in two different
lead configurations. See case B for dimensions and options.

PERATION
Where more than one pin has the same designation (e.g. pins 7, 8,
and 9 are Positive Output), all of those pins must be connected for
output performance to meet the specifications.
The MGA Series has an internal 2 μF capacitor its input terminals
and the MGH Series has an internal 0.47 μF capacitor across its
input power terminals. When the MGA or MGH converters are used
with the FMGA filter, this capacitor becomes part of the filter and
forms its final LC output section. When 2 or 3 MGA or MGH
converters are used with a single filter, this capacitor becomes
larger, improving the rejection versus frequency.
