Compact ShellFiltered ConnectorsMIL-C-38999 Filtered Connector,Compact ShellThis design is for the MIL-C-38999 connector seriesI, II, and III. The shell is constructed out of a singlepiece of metal and contains planar capacitors. Thedimensions are the same as the unfiltered MILqualified connector.The compact shell filtered connectors offerdesigners an effective filtering device that reducesthe amount of real estate required within a productenclosure. These connectors are available with mixedcapacitance filtered lines within the connector as wellas insulated and/or grounded lines. Some capacitancelevels may not be available in all connector sizes.Please consult factory for specific applications.Compact shell filtered connectors provide a simpleand space-efficient solution to a complex EMI problem.More detailed information on compact shell connectorsis located on pages 206-211.Medium TempSolder JointsPlanarCapacitorsAdvantages of Spectrum’sCompact Shell Design■ Easy retrofit or upgradeOur compact shell connector is the only MIL filteredconnector which is the same size as an unfilteredconnector . . . allowing for easy retrofit or upgradewithout concerns for space availability.■ Weight and space savingsSmaller physical size is ideal for many applications,especially airborne.■ Reduced cost and lead timesStandardized design for most contact arrangementsminimizes tooling required (often none) . . . reducingprocurement costs and facilitating small orderquantities or prototypes.■ Design flexibility and quality assuranceWe are vertically integrated for ceramic filtercapacitors, enabling us to offer a broad selectionof this critical component and ensuring designversatility and manufacturing control.■ Custom designsOptimize your system performance with a customdesigned filtered connector.Interfacial SealHard InsertFerrite BeadFiltered ConnectorsPottingFor extended shell tubulardesign, see page 212.SPECTRUM CONTROL INC. • 8031 Avonia Rd. • Fairview, PA 16415 • Phone: 814-474-2207 • Fax: 814-474-2208 • Web site: www.spectrumcontrol.comSPECTRUM CONTROL GmbH • Hansastrasse 6 • 91126 Schwabach, Germany • Phone: (49)-9122-795-0 • Fax: (49)-9122-795-58205
