Overview
Spectrum Control has applied its 50 years of experience in managing EMI/EMC to create an expedited approach to building custom connectors for military and aerospace applications. We can now deliver custom filtered connectors to your specifications in only 12 weeks with no NRE.
-
Configurable connector – with circuits/values for mixed signals in a single circular connector package
-
Quick turnaround – for quick prototyping or production units, from specs to finished products in 12 weeks; no NRE
-
Superior EMI filtering – combination of a planar and substrate filtering for superior performance versus chip-on-board (COB) or chip-in-seal versions
-
Soldered construction – for better high-frequency performance over mechanical designs
-
Large capacitance pin-to pin-ratio range – for consistent performance with power and signal filtering in a single package
-
Aluminum shell – for rugged environmental and/or weight sensitive applications
Performance graph is typical for configurable connectors.
Quality Assurance
All EMI filtered connectors undergo extensive testing to ensure that all products meet specification requirements. Many tests are performed 100% by computer-controlled test sets, including capacitance, dissipation factor, dielectric withstanding voltage, and Insulation resistance as routine. Others are tested on a sample basis as applicable. Test plans can be configured to specific customer requirements.
Qualification/special testing - Spectrum has a fully qualified test laboratory and can provide additional acceptance testing upon the customer’s request. This could be a one-time qualification exercise or ongoing periodic testing.
