No External Filters Needed With EMI Circular Connectors From Weald Electronics
Weald Electronics, a leading UK manufacturer of electronic and electrical connectors specialising in high performance military circular connectors based on the Mil-C-5015 & Mil-C-26482 specification, just announced a new filtered connector designed for applications demanding EMI suppression.
The These miniature bayonet connectors are compact, lightweight and come in a choice of three shell styles and nine shell sizes with contact configurations available from 6 to 55. They are offered in both fixed square flange or single hole mounting shell styles.
The connector shells are made from aluminium alloy with a standard finish of olive drab chromate conversion over cadmium plate. They feature gold plated, non-removable solder or PCB type contacts.
The inserts are polychloroprene, compounded to a proprietary Weald Electronics specification which gives the connectors a very wide operating temperature range of - 55ºC to +125ºC.
The connectors incorporate multilayer ceramic planar capacitor arrays to form the capacitive filtering elements. This enables a variety of filter values and configurations to be realised within a single filtered connector and, as a result, C, LC and Pi section filtering can all be accommodated within a single shell. Connection to the planar array – both for contact to pins and to the shell – is made via compliant mechanisms. High precision machined and photo-etched components provide excellent thermal and mechanical stress relief against conditions encountered in everyday use.
The LMHF Series is exclusively available through Weald’s sole Worldwide distributor Lane Electronics.
