Interconnects
EMI filtered connectors will improve performance, save board space, and reduce costs by managing EMI at the signal and power I/O. EMI filter plates provide a filtered signal line between electronic system modules, providing an economical method to meet EMC requirements.
Advantages of an EMI Filtered Connector
- Low ground impedance: full ground plate and metallic shell provide minimal impedance and superior performance compared to on-board filter with high impedance
- Eliminate re-radiation: filtered connector at the interface leaves no path for bypassing the filter
- Ground plane shielding: filtered connector ground planes shield the box even at the connector port
- Efficient space utilization: EMI filters located in the connectors provide additional space on PCB board
- Consistent performance: filtered connectors provide more consistent pin to pin performance
- Fewer components: filtered connectors reduce component count creating cost savings
- Reliability: Spectrum Control tests 100% of filters, on-board filters are typically spot tested
