1.0 DESCRIPTION OF CONNECTOR AND INTENDED APPLICATION.
EMI/RFI shielded Datamate connectors from Harwin
The S-Tek Datamate is available with single-piece, machined metal backshells that provide electrical
screening against RFI and EMI interference. Manufactured in aluminium alloy and nickel plated for electrical
performance and corrosion resistance, when used in conjunction with the relevant J-Tek Datamate
connectors and metal braid, these backshells ensure full 360 degree electrical shielding.
Designed to attach to a wide variety of standard metallic braids using industry standard tools, the
backshells enable the shield braid to be connected through the backshell to the PCB ground plane.
Available in female cable-to-PCB-mount and female cable-to-panel-mount configurations in a range of sizes
including 6, 10, 14, 20 and 26 positions, the backshells also provide excellent design flexibility.

3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS.
RF Attenuation Measurements performed in general accordance with MIL STD 1377 (1971) Screened
Cable / Connector Method. 10kHz to 400MHz @ >30dBs RF Attenuation
Please note: This test was performed with the S-Tek Datamate correctly terminated to a heavy-weight
Braided Screened Cable. Overall RF Screening performance of any screened cable assembly is reliant upon
both the Connector and Cable used and the termination therein.
3.2.1 ATTENUATION TEST SETUP.
The following information has been summarised from Harwin Test report 360.
Below is the S-tek test setup used to measure the RF Attenuation provided by the metal backshells and
heavy-weight Braided Screened Cable.

Fig.1.
S-Tek aluminium Test Panel
Anechoic Lining
Two S-tek Male crimp connectors with backshells of each size were secured to an aluminium panel using
the panel-mount jackscrews and nuts provided in the standard kit (not all sizes shown above).
Two S-tek Female crimp connectors with backshells were terminated to 1meter long wires and screened
with 1meter of heavy-weight braiding which was secured using the Bandit Tie-dex bands supplied.
The female cable assembly was mated to the male connectors and secured using the jackscrews provided
in the standard kit prior to testing as shown in Fig.1.
This panel was fitted into an Anechoic lined chamber with an isolated RF generator inside. Attenuation of
RF Frequencies between 10kHz and 400Mhz were tested and the results are shown in Appendix A and B.
