New Chip on Flex Light Weight Filter Connector from ITT Withstands Thermal Shock and Vibration
New connectors subjected to numerous MIL-standard tests...
SANTA ANA, Calif. - March 1, 2006 - ITT's new Cannon Chip on Flex (CoF) filter technology virtually eliminates all stress from thermal shock and vibration while providing superior protection to sensitive electronics in a new lighter weight package. In the MIL-DTL-38999 configurations, the CoF connectors have passed MIL-STD and MIL-DTL Series III testing for thermal shock, random vibration, humidity and high altitude. The filter connectors are ideal for high reliability military, aerospace and industrial applications including integrated avionics, radio and navigation systems, fire control devices, electronic counter measures, satellite communications and data transmitters.
The unique Cannon CoF design replaces the internal and traditional ceramic planar array block capacitor with a state-of-the-art flexible circuit where individual chip capacitors are surface mounted on a pad adjacent to the feed thru contact. Since the feed thru contacts are not soldered directly to the capacitor, thermal stress points that impact performance in thermal shock and vibration have been virtually eliminated.
The result is a very robust filter connector with superior mechanical performance and improved reliability. In addition, because the flex is significantly lighter in weight, a connector weight reduction of up to 15% is achieved for the MIL-DTL-38999 configurations.
ITT's new Cannon CoF filter connectors provide all the standard filtering capabilities, such as individual isolated pin filtering of high-frequency noise, built-in ground plane barriers in the connector inserts, and filtering at the face of system boxes.
This CoF filter approach offers the system designer complete flexibility in defining or changing individual circuit capacitance, ground and EMP performance during the design/development phase - eliminating any need to retool the ceramic planar array.
The Cannon CoF design utilizes readily available flex circuits and active components leading to reduced design/development cycle times, overall hardware delivery lead times and cost.
