Ceramic Capacitors
we offer performance and
cost alternatives to meet
varied voltage, capacitance,
packaging and budgetary
requirements
Discoidal Feed-Through Capacitors
are ideal for by-pass and filtering
applications with a low inductance
construction suited for high frequency
applications. Their low profile and
rugged design is an excellent
alternative to ceramic tubes… 11
Tubular Feed-Through Capacitors
are small, lightweight with high dielectric
strength and are impervious to moisture and
contamination. Feed-through capacitors have
a uniform insertion loss over a broad spectrum
range and are ideal for multi-pin connector
applications… 12
Tubular Pi Capacitors have similar
characteristics to feed-through capacitors
in addition to a narrower transition between
the pass and stop bands, effectively
stopping high frequency interference
without affecting desired frequencies
and providing filtering of noise
content close to signal content … 13
SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply)
Capacitors deliver lower equivalent
series resistance, lower equivalent series
inductance, lower ripple voltage and less
self-heating when compared to other
capacitor technologies… 14-15
Planar Capacitors offer a faster assembly
time compared to stand-alone chips, discoidal
or tubular capacitors. They also have a low
profile and are capable of meeting various
geometric and electrical configurations, making
these planar capacitors the new standard in
EMI suppression applications… 16

Discoidal
Capacitors
Ceramic discoidal feed-through capacitors are the
building blocks of the EMI filter industry. API’s Spectrum
Control discoidal capacitors provide great versatility in
meeting varied voltage, capacitance and dimensional
requirements. Our nonpolar, multilayer capacitors are
small, reliable and high in dielectric strength. Operational
temperatures of -55°C to +125°C are achieved with no
voltage de-rating.
The versatile nature of our discoidals makes them
ideally suited for by-pass and filtering applications. Due to
their low inductance construction, these capacitors perform
extremely well in high frequency applications. The circular
geometry of a discoidal feed-through capacitor offers many
paths to ground, resulting in lower impedance and better
filtering performance.
The low profile and rugged design of our discoidal
capacitors offer an excellent alternative to ceramic tubes.

Tubular FT Capacitors
Feed-through tubular capacitors are ideally suited for
by-pass and filtering applications. Due to the cylindrical
design, the capacitors will have uniform insertion loss
over a broad frequency range. This structure yields
a low inductance when compared to conventional
wound capacitors.
Solid FT capacitors have no internal electrodes
and find their primary usage in low cost applications.
Multilayered FT capacitors have a higher capacitance
to volume ratio and are ideally suited for greater filtering
at lower frequencies. Multilayered FT capacitors are also
designed for applications where source impedances are
high and sharp attenuation rise is critical.

Motor Line Feed-Through
(MLFT) Filters (Patent Pending)
Low Pass EMI Filters
As the world leader in EMC, API Technologies’
Spectrum Control brand has developed a family of
high capacitance filters specifically designed for DC
motor and other lower voltage applications. The Motor
Line Feed-Through (MLFT) filter is a one-component
solution that eliminates the need for multiple capacitors,
inductive coils, leads and PCB assemblies requiring
numerous electrical connections and large amounts
of space. MLFT filters (patent pending) are engineered
to provide the required EMI filtering and mechanical
interface at a reduced cost.
MLFT filters offer significant insertion loss to pass
global conductive and radiated EMC tests, such as
CISPR 25. Our standard line of filters can be designed
into mechanical packages for easy retrofit into existing
designs or as custom assemblies to simplify installation
during production. These filters are available in stamped
or threaded housings, with single or dual lines, and
round leads or Faston terminals for applications to
100 volts.

Rapid Mate
Connectors
API’s Spectrum Control brand Rapid Mate connectors offer
the ease and reliability of hot shoe style mating with the
added benefit of integral EMI filtering. By mating via spring
loaded, compliant contacts, Rapid Mate connectors provide
positive mating force to ensure a reliable connection. This
method provides rapid connection with low mating force,
allowing for some misalignment during mating.
Additionally, the EMI filter experts at API can design
a filtered Rapid Mate connector built to your requirements,
providing the advantages of hot shoe style mating while
ensuring system functionality in EMI-prone applications.

API offers an alternative to the traditional connector
backshell that improves performance while providing
significant cost savings. Our overmolded connector
backshells are completely weather sealed and EMI
shielded and cost a fraction of a typical connector
backshell. We machine our own overmolded 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.

Filter Solutions
Custom Application-Specific Designs
Rarely does a 100% off-the-shelf power filter
completely satisfy the mechanical, electrical and
power requirements and constraints of a sophisticated
OEM design. Yet for many the term custom is intimidating,
implying long lead times and higher costs. At API
Technologies, we’re focused on providing a complete
solution that takes all factors into consideration.
Whether modifying an existing power filter design,
working from a “clean sheet” approach, or integrating
various technologies into a subassembly, the resulting
custom solution will be a Spectrum Control brand
product tailored to your project’s design, logistic
and budgetary requirements.
We can “clean up” your
system by creating an
easy-to-install assembly
that contains all the
components and filtering
solutions in one compact
package.

Magnetics
we offer a variety of
transformers, inductors,
choke, coils and custom
solutions to meet your
magnetics needs
Custom Magnetic Solutions
We offer extensive design and manufacturing capabilities,
including more than two dozen magnetic core materials and
winding wire from 6 to 45 gauge with many coatings, leads
and terminations. We produce toroids ranging in size from
0.5" to 18" in diameter with up to 4,000 turns and accuracy
to +/- 1 turn, and a wide variety of encapsulation and laminate
options. Below are some of the critical design criteria we
will work with your engineering team to address.
Electrical Characteristics - Identifying the circuit function/
application and/or specifying electrical requirements such
as amperage, voltage, inductance, frequency response,
leakage, and noise reduction often determines selection
of materials and components.
Mechanical Constraints - Restrictions on maximum height
and available board area and mounting style (surface mount
or through-hole) set physical parameters that often are
difficult to change. Mechanical size restrictions can
strongly affect component temperature rise.
Environmental Conditions - Maximum/minimum operating
temperatures and allowed surface and/or internal temperatures
of components, including UL compliance, as well as conditions
such as air flow, sealing of container, high shock, and vibration
will influence material selection and design.
Regulating Requirements - Considerations include safety
standards to be met (eg. IEC/UL 60950-1, UL61010-1, UL
1585 etc), listing of the unit with a regulatory agency such as
UL, CSA or VDE and requirements for UL thermal insulation
system marking.
Qualification Conditions - Identify the qualification process
required prior to approval, be it customer standards, or Hi-Rel
standards such as MIL-PRF-27 or MIL-STD-981 and whether
formal testing or the ability to demonstrate compliance by
design is necessary.
Quality Construction
Our magnetics group combines the people, products
and technologies of several brands, including Filtran
and RTI Electronics, in order to satisfy your magnetics
requirements. API Technologies is a key supplier to
many of the world’s leading OEMs, serving the military,
aerospace, medical, telecom, transport, RF and
industrial/test measurement markets.
API’s commitment to quality begins with a rigorous raw
material selection and inspection process and continues
through highly trained operators utilizing state-of-the-art
equipment. The end result are the highest quality
magnetics consistently manufactured to meet some
of the industry's most stringent requirements including
many MIL, ANSI and ISO certifications.
