Hi David,

There are a large number of manufacturers of potted filters and IEC types in particular. How they compare with respect to reliability - who would know? However, the only ones that I see fail are Schaffners.

Three brands that I have used without issue are given in my last post. Delta Electronics (Taiwan) is the darling of the computer industry for quality SMPS and have their own filter range. I don't need to say anything about the supreme quality of TDK (Japan) used by NEC. BIT (Korea) filters are favoured by some monitor manufacturers, Samtron, for example.
