AMPOHM Contact Suppressor, 0.1µF 100R, Radial 22.5mm

The AMPOHM FE-SP-CR Series Contact Suppressor is a crucial electronic component designed to effectively suppress electrical interference. It is engineered to mitigate the electromagnetic noise and voltage spikes caused by the switching of reactive loads, such as motors, solenoids, or transformers, which can disrupt sensitive circuitry and lead to malfunctions.

This suppressor can also be utilised for the protection of semiconductor devices, including Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) and triacs, safeguarding them from potentially damaging transient voltages. Featuring electro tin-plated 22SWG leads with a minimum length of 20mm, it ensures reliable solderability and electrical connection.
