EMI-Filtered Combo D-Sub-Connectors For DC Applications


Fairview, PA - March 10, 2006 Spectrum Control, Inc. has expanded its product offering of Filtered Combo D- Subminiature Connectors. These new connectors offer excellent filtering capabilities with high insertion loss, provided by coaxial feed through capacitors, into the GHz range. A more economical version filtered with chip capacitors of 100 nF max. per line is also available to address the needs for filtering in the lower KHz range.

These Connectors are designed for use in a variety of applications, particularly 48 V DC power entry for telecommunication systems such as base stations, switching and transmission equipments as well as industrial, medical, computer and power supplies.

Spectrum Combo connectors provide intermateability with most commercially available unfiltered connectors. Rated at 40 Amp and 200 V DC, the integrated high strength potting protects the ceramic elements and provides test voltage capability up to 707 V DC. Standard sizes such as 3W3, 5W5, 9W4 and 24W7 are available. Custom designs incorporating mixed filter values and coaxial inserts are available upon request.

In addition, Spectrum Control offers a wide range of filtered connectors, including filtered D-Sub High Density Adaptors for VGA-Interfaces, D-Sub Filtered Adaptor for 2.048 MBit Interfaces and D-Sub Filtered Connectors for High Voltage Applications up to 1400 V DC Test voltage.
