SBSGP5000472MXT: Premium 3rd Order LC Pi Filter for Superior EMI/RFI Suppression

The SBSGP5000472MXT from Knowles Syfer represents the gold standard in surface-mount EMI/RFI filtration technology. Engineered for mission-critical applications, this advanced LC Pi filter delivers exceptional noise suppression with industry-leading 39dB attenuation at 100MHz. As electronic systems grow increasingly complex, the demand for reliable electromagnetic interference protection has never been higher making this component essential for modern circuit design.

In-Depth Technical Analysis

Advanced Filter Architecture

Utilizing a sophisticated 3rd order LC Pi topology, the SBSGP5000472MXT provides superior harmonic suppression compared to conventional 1st or 2nd order filters. The Pi configuration (C-L-C) creates multiple poles of attenuation, achieving a steep roll-off characteristic of -60dB/decade above the cutoff frequency.

Unmatched Performance Specifications

• Ultra-High Attenuation: 39dB @ 100MHz (industry-leading performance for SMD filters in this class)
• Robust Power Handling: 5A continuous current rating with 500V DC withstand capability
• Precision Components: 4700pF high-stability capacitors with low ESR/ESL characteristics
• Military-Grade Construction: -55 C to +125 C operational range (implied by Knowles Syfer's quality standards)

Design Advantages

Space-Optimized Packaging

The compact 1812 footprint (4.55mm x 3.20mm) enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining exceptional thermal performance. The 3-pad design features:
