30-AMP (PEAK) IN-LINE TOROIDAL DC NOISE FILTER for 12 VOLTS, ALTERNATOR, PULSE NOISE SUPPRESSION
Product Details
MPN: RFI-N25
Country/Region of Manufacture: USA

PURPOSE:The N-25 is a passive noise suppressor that employs a high density, low loss toroid 0.25mH choke designed to eliminate in-line noise for Auto-sound, Avionics, and ham radio/CB/Two-Way communication systems including: Alternator Whine, Fan Hums, Dodge Ram Cummings Torque Converter Clutch Cycling Repair*, etc.The N-25 applications include Power Equalizers, Small Amplifiers, Cellular Phones, CB Radios, Two Way Communication Equipment, CD Players, and AM/FM Cassette Decks, etc.

FEATURES:The air-cooled design of the N-25 filter permits maximum efficiency and effectiveness.The ferrite toroid core of the choke component of the L configuration is responsible for a very high rate of attenuation with very low line losses.There are only three wires needed for the installation of the passive filter -Filter Input, Filter Output, and the Chassis Ground.

INSTALLATION:Make sure the noise is in-line before installing an in-line filter such as the N-25.A good confirmation would be to temporarily substitute a 120 VAC to a 12 VDC power supply, or a 12 Volt motorcycle battery, for the vehicle's electrical system.If the noise goes away when the alternate power supply is connected, then you have a case of in-line noise.

To get optimum results with the N-25, the following directions should be followed:

1.Cut the component's main power lead between the fuse and the component.

2. Connect the Green wire to the fuse side. (If there is no fuse, add one --- 10 Amps is recommended)

3.Connect the fused Red wire to the component side.

4.Connect the Black wire to a good chassis ground.

Practical and easy to install, the N-25 is one of the most versatile and effective filters on the market.

Note: The 30-Amp rating is instantaneous = peak… not constant. Fuse the Green lead with a 5 to 10-Amp fuse. Average current draw should be no larger than the fuse size of 10 amps.


Christmas lights or yard lights with switching DC power supplies are often the RFI source and a clamp on ferrite bead on the AC AND the DC side feeding the lights is needed to help suppress the switching power supply RFI noise.  Suitable snap on beads are FSB31-1/2 for the 1-250 MHz range.

We have also had reported wireless HDTV boxes, and FOSCAM and AMCREST security camera systems causing RFI to garage door remote openers. Use our Garage Door Opener RFI kit to suppress the interference to the opener (VICTIM) – you need one kit for each opener.  Maximize the distance from the camera to the openers may also help.  Additionally shield cable to the garage door sensors may be needed depending on severity of the camera RFI.

Obvious Tech Note: make sure your remote batteries have enough energy to activate the GDO or the signal they transmit may not be large enough to over ride the RFI signal, but a fresh battery may be able to overcome the weak RFI source and allow the GDO to operate correctly.
