Application
Attachment on the radio filterette (suppression box) which was mounted on the firewall under the dashboard. The filterette itself was used as suppression for the 6V electrical system on vehicles with radio installation. Fitted to vehicles with filterette-type suppression (approximately until end 1943 for MB, until mid-1944 for GPW).
Installation notes
The plate is fixed to the filterette housing. The filterette itself was mounted on the firewall under the instrument panel, near the dashboard section. Check whether your vehicle was originally equipped with a filterette-type suppression (early/mid-war vehicles) or with the later system of separate capacitors.
Compatibility
Suitable for vehicles that were originally equipped with the filterette box (Tobe-Deutschmann or similar make). Early and mid-war vehicles had the filterette; later production switched to separate capacitors near the ignition switch. Not all vehicles had this component — only those with radio installation or suppression system.
Historical context
The radio filterette was a suppression component with capacitors in a steel housing, intended to divert radio frequency interference from the low-voltage electrical system to earth. The data plate identified the filterette unit and has disappeared or become illegible through corrosion on most surviving vehicles.
