Strange 3legged component in switched mode PSU - Click HERE for Original Thread
royalmp2001
I am looking to upgrade a PSU in a peice of digital studio equipment.

It is switched mode, I think (I have no schematic).

On the outputs are strange 3 legged components that look like small dipped polyester caps (bright orange). The markings on the PCB indicate EM1,EM2...etc. What are they?
On the component itself are the numbers....

It is most likely a T-filter. Inside it would have an LC circuit or two inductors and a capactior for EMI suppression. It helps control conductive emissions. This is most likely what it is. Sometimes RF caps have a third lead attached to a shield but this is unlikely here.

I agree, they should be small EMI filters. Do they look like two balls glued together?
