Circular & D-Sub Connectors
API Technologies has been a leader in providing application specific EMI filtered
connector solutions since its founding in 1968. Our Spectrum Control brand
offers the industry’s most extensive line of circular and D-Sub connectors that
are designed for high reliability or demanding environmental applications such
as commercial aviation and avionics, off-highway and agricultural vehicles, hi-rel
power supplies, as well as all airborne, ship or ground-based military applications.
At API, we know it’s rare to find an off-the-shelf connector that completely
satisfies the environmental, mechanical and electrical requirements of demanding,
high reliability applications. Our engineering team is ready to modify one of these
existing designs or start with a “clean sheet” to ensure our connector satisfies
all of your requirements.

To assist our customers in meeting their Hi-Rel requirements, API has developed
extensive capabilities to provide custom cables and connector harnessing.
Utilizing our dedicated manufacturing facility that is AS9100 Rev C/ISO 9001:2008
certified, the Spectrum Control line includes signal and discrete cables, RF cables,
power cables, connector harness assemblies and complete system integration.
Vertical Integration
As a fully vertically integrated company, API’s Spectrum Control brand is truly unique
among connector suppliers. We design and manufacture all components for our circular
filtered and unfiltered connectors. From shells and shields to seals and grommets, each
component of your custom connector undergoes our extensive assembly and testing
process, ensuring API is able to deliver extremely reliable, high performance
connectors to fit both your economic and mechanical needs.
Our complete in-house production capability allows us to maintain tighter quality

commercial/industrial/military
circular
connectors
In response to market demand, we have developed a line of standard circular connectors for
commercial, industrial and military applications that are completely intermateable with MIL-DTL38999 Series III compact shell connectors. To meet this need, we reviewed our extensive library of
proven API Technologies’ Spectrum Control brand connector designs to create a line of EMI filtered
or unfiltered circular connectors that are highly reliable, durable and fully customizable. Our standard
circular connectors are available in wall mount, jam nut or straight plug shell options, 9 different
shell sizes, 5 contact/termination styles and 18 insert configurations.
EMI Filtered or Specialty Unfiltered Connectors
API’s Spectrum Control line offers custom circular connectors in EMI filtered or unfiltered styles, including
MIL-DTL-55116, -83723, -24308, -26482 and -5015. Our filtered compact shell connectors provide
an effective filtering device that reduces the amount of real estate required within a product enclosure.
Using our expertise in EMI filter design and manufacturing, we offer planar-style filtered arrays, available
in C and Pi circuits. Other filter circuits including transient protection are available.
In addition, we can accommodate your quick-turn schedule for prototyping by adding either planar
or tubular capacitor filtering to the rear of a standard connector.
Unfiltered circular connectors also can be designed to meet various environmental and mechanical
specifications. As with our filtered connectors, API offers multiple termination styles, various material
and finishing options and a variety of shell styles and sizes. Integral strain relief, as well as power,
signal and coax line features are also available.
Composite Shell Connectors
For even greater design flexibility, API now offers composite shell circular connectors. These composite
connectors feature shells fabricated from high grade thermoplastic and are designed to replace traditional
metal connector shells for substantial weight reduction. The new composite shell maintains the form,
fit and function of the original connector shell, making it ideal for applications where weight is a critical
factor. A composite shell version of any API’s Spectrum Control circular connector design is available.
Custom Mechanical Packages
Our vertical integration includes a unique material process and extensive machining capabilities, allowing
us to easily modify the mechanical package of any connector, ensuring fast and affordable custom designs.
Other connector manufacturers mold their composite shells, making custom designs expensive.
At API, custom mechanical variations are machined allowing for unique packages without
traditional tooling charges.
Hermetically Sealed Connectors
API has developed a new family of hermetically sealed circular connectors that protect against changes
in atmospheric pressure and exposure to humidity, grime, and chemicals, making them ideal for aerospace
engine control, hydraulic, and caustic environments where harsh conditions could exist. The hermetically
sealed connector’s receptacle has a seal of 10-7cm3 and comes in filtered and unfiltered versions.
Mini-MIL Connectors
API’s new Spectrum Control brand Mini-MIL circular connectors are small and lightweight offering space
and weight savings while providing equivalent performance to standard MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. These
connectors are available filtered with C, Pi or mixed capacitance, or unfiltered, with a range of engagement,
termination and receptacle types. Mini-MIL connectors can be customized to satisfy various mechanical and
electrical requirements and are ideal for military, industrial and medical applications where space restrictions
do not allow for larger 38999 connectors.

Over-molded Connector Backshells
API offers an alternative to the traditional connector backshell that improves
performance while providing significant cost savings. Our over-molded connector
backshells are completely weather sealed and EMI shielded and cost a fraction of
a typical connector backshell. We machine our own over-molded backshells and
then seal the attached wires and shielding with an extremely durable mold material.
The result is a more attractive connector that is far more resistant to environmental
conditions and costs 10 to 20 times less than traditional backshells.

• API’s Spectrum Control brand of over-mold backshells available for almost
any connector configuration
• Over-molding provides better strain relief than heat shrink or metal backshells
• Total encapsulation of mold material protects against weather and
environmental degradation
• Over-molded connector is 10 to 20x less expensive than traditional backshells
• More attractive final assembly, custom mold imprinting available
• Lead times

d-sub
connectors
For more than 45 years, API’s Spectrum Control brand
has been a leader in designing and manufacturing EMI
filtered D-Sub connectors for high reliability applications.
Our wide range of connector options will help you improve
performance, save board space and reduce costs by
managing EMI at the signal and power I/O. API’s Spectrum
Control brand filtered connector advantages include:
• Low ground impedance - Full ground plate and metallic
shell provide minimal impedance and superior performance
• Eliminate re-radiation - Filtered connector at interface
leaves no path for bypassing the filter
• Ground plane shielding - Filtered connector ground
planes shield the box even at the connector port
• Efficient space utilization - Filters located in the
connectors provide additional space on PCB board
• Consistent performance - Filtered connectors provide
more consistent pin to pin performance
• Fewer components - Filtered connectors reduce
component count creating cost savings
• Reliability - 100% testing of filters, on-board filters are
usually spot tested
The miniaturization of electronic systems and sub-systems
is pushing designers to increase circuit densities within
smaller packages. To address this growing need, API
has developed a line of filtered Hi-Density D-subminiature
