Advantages of a Filtered Connector
n
n
n
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 interface leaves no path
for bypassing the filter
Ground plane shielding –
API’s filtered
connector ground planes shield the box
even at the connector port

n
Efficient space utilization –
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 –
API tests 100% of filters,
on-board filters are usually spot tested

Advantages of API
Filtered Connectors
API Technologies’ Spectrum Control brand offers the
industry’s most complete line of filtered D-subminiature
connectors. Our connectors are available in shell sizes
from 9 to 50, and come in many termination types, such as
PC mount, wire wrap, solder cup and 90° PCB. In addition,
API offers a wide range of filtering options, allowing you to
find the right balance between performance and economy.
EMI filter options include our Pi filter configuration,
which provides 45-60 dB per decade slope to insertion loss
curve, our capacitive-only C filters that provide cost-effective
EMI attenuation, ferrite filtered series F connectors (designed
for filtering in situations that do not tolerate capacitive loading
of circuit), as well as our series 500 connectors, with small
.318" footprints.
The construction of our high performance Series 600
and 700 connectors features a one-piece zinc diecast shell,
which is subsequently nickel-plated. Each filter is constructed
with 360° grounding with ground plate, and our patented
coaxial springs ensure ground continuity. And with API’s
advanced in-house ceramic tube design, you’ll get a
reliable, high performance filter from start to finish.

Series F Ferrite Filtered
Connectors
The Series F filtered D-subminiature connectors
incorporate a solid slab of ferrite material as the filtering
element. This rugged one-piece design provides a
com-pact connector that is a drop-in replacement for
standard connectors. The ferrite material has been
chosen for optimum filtering performance in the 10
to 300 MHz range.
