Filtered Connectors Product Roundup 2024

By AJ Born | November 19, 2024

This week’s Product Roundup highlights filtered connectors from leading connector manufacturers and suppliers.

Filtered connectors

Amphenol Filter Connectors from PEI-Genesis offer EMI protection in one compact interconnect device, making them ideal for military and aerospace applications. In the most common configuration, capacitors are mounted inside the connector between each contact and the connector ground shell. These filter connectors offer better EMI control, PCB space savings, cost savings, easy EMI/RFI upgrade, and EMC compliance. A variety of sizes, shapes, and options are available.

Glenair’s 240 series EMI/RFI filter connectors from Avnet incorporate electronic circuitry (capacitors) to strip line signals of unwanted RF or HRF noise that could potentially impact electronic equipment or system performance. Filter connectors may also be equipped with transient voltage suppression diodes to clamp off a high-energy power surge, such as might occur from a lightning strike or EMP event, before the surge can damage sensitive electronic equipment.

Nicomatic’s innovative filtered connector is designed to meet the stringent requirements of conducted EMI standards, ensuring your products are protected against electromagnetic interference. Integrating the filter directly into the connector frees up valuable space on a PCB — everything is already built in. Pi, LC, and C filter technologies are used to meet specific attenuation needs. Nicomatic is proud of its ability to address the most complex electromagnetic compatibility challenges.

Smiths Interconnects’ filtered rack and panel connectors include ARINC 404, ARINC 600, and MIL-DTL-83527 shell styles. EMI filtering at box interface level offers maximum system protection. They are designed to meet or exceed all applicable requirements of each series and are intermateable and interchangeable with standard non-filter connectors.

Conec’s filtered connectors, supplied by Kensington Electronics, manage interference at the signal and power IO. Although they were invented in 1952, the D-Sub is still widely used today. Conec offers both standard filtered D-Subs, filtered high density D-Subs, and filtered combination D-Subs where applications call for power and signal. Conec offers filters in C, LC, and pi filters.
