The Amphenol
®
EMI filter connector utilizes two manufacturing
technologies to provide the user with the most cost effective
performance across the frequency range. (For EMP perfor-
mance data, see pages 172-175).
The tubular design offers over 40 years of proven field
reliability. All filter contacts within the connector share a
common ground plane, which is connected to the connector
shell. The pin to pin isolation is 85 dB minimum at 100 MHz.
The planar design joins pins to a multi-layered ceramic forming
an array sub-assembly, with a peripheral ground which is
connected to the connector shell via a ground spring. Pin to
pin capacitance is less than 50 pf with a pin to pin isolation of
85 dB minimum at 100 MHz. Filter contacts for both designs
contain either a pi passive element network comprised of a
ferrite inductor and ceramic capacitor, or a single capacitor.
EMI Capabilities
for maximum design flexibility
For planar designs other filter networks are available, ie.
T Type, L-C Type, C-L Type and C Type. An encapsulant of
oven-cured epoxy in the rear provides:
•
Mechanical and thermal insulation of the ceramic
elements – mechanical loading can be accomplished
without capacitor damage. Pins can be bent 90° and
straightened with no damage to the filter.
• Hermeticity (4.6 x 10
-3
cc/sec) – prevents water from
entering through the rear of the connector in high
humidity environments. Amphenol recommends using
metal protection caps during cleaning operations.

Amphenol provides a wide range of filtering solutions. You
can select your options for your particular interference
threats - VHF, UHF, HF or other filter ranges, then couple
with a connector package of your choice. Or give Amphenol
your custom shell design requirements for assistance in
designing your unique filter solution.
EMI Filter connectors are intended for use in temperatures
from –55°C to +125°C. Attenuation will change with feed-
through current and temperature.*
To assure reliability, connectors may be subjected to an
attenuation performance test verifying proper assembly and
grounding of the filters. Attenuation data on filter per-
formance is stated in reference to a 50 ohm impedance
system in order to allow filter performance to be more
easily translated into real world impedances. Those inter-
ested in determining the expected filter performance in an
impedance system other than 50 ohms may refer to page
131 of this catalog or may contact Amphenol Aerospace for
further assistance.
It is suggested that the user analyze his system
requirements for EMI protection in the following areas:
• Working voltage (DC or AC and Frequency)
• Peak voltage
• Desired attenuation at a given frequency level
•
Any special capacitance limitations

• Coaxial, concentric twinax, triax and quadrax contacts can be
included in arrangements of filtered contacts for signal or power
circuits (See Amphenol catalog 12-130, High Frequency

• Filter contacts with differing cut-off frequencies can be mixed in
any given insert arrangement. (ratio 100:1 typical)
• Ground, insulated or filter contacts can be combined within the
same connector to meet unique or changing frequency
protection requirements.

connector body. (Socket type M39029/57). (For further contact
information, see section, MIL-DTL-38999 Series I & II).

Filter contacts can be provided in most frequencies in
contact sizes 22 or larger. Consult Amphenol Aerospace
for availability.
Tubular connector designs will meet 3 amps RF current
from –55°C through +125°C. Planar connector designs
will meet 5 amps.

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Connectors.

Adapters
Filter adapters eliminate replacement of either existing mated pair. The
adapter provides the circuit protection at the MF, VHF and UHF levels,
and is an effective and economical method of introducing EMI/EMP
protection to an installed system. Adapters are to be placed between
mating faces. (See pages 171).
Printed Circuit Board Mount
Receptacle shell modifications that allow mounting directly to a PC board
or flex header. Stand-off shells are available in different configurations.
These offer improved reliability by eliminating external spacers and
washers. (See pages 140, 141, 146, 147,160 and 163).
Hermetic
The hermetic filter connector, while only approximately 1/2 inch longer
than standard series connectors, provides all the benefits of a hermetic
connector, plus EMI protection for sensitive circuits. The filter assembly is
protected by a fused glass insert within a unique steel housing. This design
provides the capability to tolerate high level static pressure while
maintaining a low level leakage rate. Consult Amphenol Aerospace for
more information.
Composite
Composite shell filter connectors meet the MIL-DTL-38999, Series III
dimensional length, and offer a light-weight, corrosion resistant, durable
connector with the same high performance features as its metal counter-
part. The composite filter connector utilizes planar technology to
accommodate VHF-1 or better electrical performance characteristics.
(See pages 138-141).
ESD Protection
Filter connectors with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection are
available. These MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and III connectors have an added
feature of a Faraday Cage to shunt electrostatic discharge events to the
conductive enclosure on which the con-
nector is mounted.
(See page 203).
Filtered Plugs
Filtered Plugs are designed for
applications where EMI protection is
essential, but access to the receptacle
is denied. Designed with the same com-
Hermetic filter connector
ponents as a standard filter receptacle,
the filtered plug offers the option of being
mounted on the cable harness. It is a cost effective method of achiev-
ing EMI protection when length restrictions prohibit
inclusion of an adapter to the system. Consult Amphenol
Aerospace for availability.
Diode Connectors
Diode Connectors offer versatility with transient protection for sensi-
tive circuits, such as TTL lines. Diodes can stand alone or be com-
bined with other filters. (Pages 174-175).
