Amphenol EMI/EMP Filter Protection
Connectors
for protection of sensitive circuits
Amphenol
®
EMI/EMP Protection Connectors offer the versa-
tility of standard connectors with EMI/EMP protection for
sensitive circuits. Internal housing of the EMI/EMP devices
eliminates costly and bulky exterior discrete protection
devices.
Virtually all major MIL-Spec cylindricals can be incorporated with
filter devices:
• MIL-DTL-38999
• MIL-DTL-5015
• MIL-C-26482
• MIL-C-27599
• MIL-C-83723
• MIL-C-26500
Amphenol offers filter connectors that include:
• EMP protection using diodes
• EMP protection utilizing metal oxide varistors (MOV’s)
• Filtered plug connectors
• Filtered hermetic connectors
• Filter connectors with ESD protection
• Combinations of filtering devices within one connector
package
This catalog focuses on the cylindrical connector offerings
from Amphenol with EMI/EMP filter transient protection. There
are also many rectangular filter connectors that are offered by
Amphenol which include:
• MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub
• MIL-DTL-83513 Micro D
• ARINC 404/600
• DOD-83527 Rack and Panel
• MIL-DTL-83733 Rack and Panel
Rectangular filter interconnects are manufactured and sup-
plied by Amphenol Canada. See further information at the end
of the catalog.
Advantages of Filter Connectors:
• Reduction in overall weight and space with the elimina-
tion of external filter circuits
• Reduction of solder junctions
• Increase in reliability due to fewer connections
• Fragile filter elements protected from handling and
environmental damage
• Pre-testing from factory and ready for installation

contacts.
MOV Connectors
MOV’s act as a variable resistor
to efficiently dissipate energy.
MOV can be pack-
aged singularly or in
combinations with
other EMI Filtering.
Header Assemblies
Allow for easy separation and easy
termination of connectors when

EMI Capabilities
for maximum design flexibility
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 58-61).
The tubular design offers over 40 years of proven field reliabil-
ity. 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 ele-
ment network comprised of a ferrite inductor and ceramic
capacitor, or a single capacitor.
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 capaci-
tor 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 enter-
ing through the rear of the connector in high humidity envi-
ronments. Amphenol recommends using metal protection
caps during cleaning operations.

EMI Capabilities, cont.
Planars, MOV’s, Tubular and Diode Contacts
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 Amphe-
nol 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 eas-
ily translated into real world impedances.
Those interested in determining the expected filter perfor-
mance in an impedance system other than 50 ohms may
refer to page 7 of this catalog or may contact Amphenol
Aerospace for further assistance.
It is suggested that the user analyze his system require-
ments 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

Contact Options
• 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
Contacts for Multi-pin Connectors).
• Filter contacts with differing cutoff frequencies can be mixed in
any given insert arrangement. (ratio 20:1 typical)
• Ground, insulated or filter contacts can be combined within the
same connector to meet unique or changing frequency protec-
tion requirements.
• Thermocouple contacts
• Diodes for EMP
Methods of Wire Termination
• Solder cup - wire termination
• PCB termination (Pre-tinning is available)
• Solderless wrap
• Amphenol
®
UTS (Universal Termination System) allows crimp
termination. It uses crimp insertable socket contacts on con-
ductor wires. Sockets mate with filter pins within the connector
body. (Socket type M39029/57). (For further contact informa-
tion, see catalog 12-090, MIL-DTL-38999 Series I & II).
• Weld terminal for thermocouple contacts
Filter contacts can be provided in most frequencies in con-
tact 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.
