Custom Filter Plates High Volume Industrial As a long-term producer of filter plates for industrial applications, API Technologies understands the cost requirements of this market. In turn, we have established a program to develop and manufacture custom designed filter plates for cost sensitive industrial applications. We have engineered a variety of capacitive only filter elements that provide excellent RF isolation from 5 MHz to 1 GHz and beyond. To determine the available capacitance values, contact API. Our technical staff will work with you to develop a solution that meets your system and budget needs. Military/High Reliability Improving the electromagnetic compliance (EMC) of electronic systems is an area of intense focus within the defense and avionics industries. To achieve this goal, many companies are replacing discrete filter elements and surface mount filters with feed-through filter plate assemblies for higher frequency isolation. API will custom design a filter plate that meets your size, material and filtering requirements. We are capable of providing stringent testing and analysis of our filter plate assemblies to MIL-F-15733 and MIL-F-28861.

Our marketing and engineering staff will evaluate your design or manufacturing parameters and develop a filter solution which provides increased filtering performance economically. API Capabilities ■ ■ ■ Custom assemblies with varying cable lengths and impedances for high clock speeds associated with digital electronics Integrate a filter solution with other components to ensure a completely functional device Perform EMC evaluations on your equipment, recommending proper placement of EMI/RFI filtering components Filtered Headers Replace the unfiltered connector on your PC board with API’s low cost filtered header. This innovative new product allows you to meet EMC emissions and susceptibility standards with minimal or no board change. Filtered Headers Flat Conductor Cables Flat conductor cables are often selected as an effective method of interconnection. API can save you time and money by installing conductor cables to your filter plates. Flat conductor cables are available in varying lengths, conductor counts, and in several termination configurations. Easy Mate® .250 (6.36) MIN.
