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. EMI Filter Performance Applications Features The electrical characteristics table indicates the performance of feed-through capacitors and Pi type filters. Utilize this information to specify the EMI filtering components included in your connector. Selective loading and custom values can also be designed. ■ Military and commercial communications systems ■ Custom filtering ■ Thermal and ambient light imaging cameras ■ 100% tested before shipment ■ Docking stations ■ Rugged and reliable ■ Scanners ■ Resists sand, dust and water ■ Low, flexible mating force Filter Designation Filter* Circuits Tolerance 3 dB Max Cut-off Frequency (MHz) Working Voltage DC -55°C to +125°C 5 MHz Capacitance Value Minimum Insertion Loss - Decibels (dB) 50 ohm system per MIL-STD-220 (no load) 10 MHz 20 MHz 50 MHz 100 MHz 200 MHz 500 MHz 1 GHz A 68 pF ±20% 77 100V — — — — — 3 10 16 B 100 pF ±20% 53 100V — — — — 1 6 14 19 C 135 pF +100/-0% 23 100V — — — 1 5 10 16 20 470 pF ±20% 11 100V — — 2 7 13 19 25 27 820 pF ±20% 6 100V — 2 6 12 18 24 30 33 5 D E C F 1000 pF ±20% 100V — 3 7 14 20 26 32 35 G 1500 pF ±20% 3.5 100V 1 4 10 16 22 29 36 37 H 2500 pF +100/-0% 1.3 100V 5 11 17 23 29 35 38 40 4000 pF +100/-0% .8 100V 9 15 21 27 34 38 42 46 Max. 635 100V — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I J Insulated K Grounded Insert 10 pF L 68 pF ±20% 65 100V — — — — 1 6 17 23 M 100 pF ±20% 46 100V — — — — 2 9 22 28 N 135 pF +100/-0% 25 100V — — — 1 6 17 26 34 O 470 pF ±20% 11 100V — — — 9 18 22 36 43 820 pF ±20% 6 100V — — 4 13 23 31 45 52 P Pi Q 1000 pF ±20% 5 100V — 2 7 16 24 36 51 59 R 1700 pF +100/-0% 1.9 100V 1 6 14 28 35 49 64 69 S 2500 pF +100/-0% 1.3 50V 4 9 16 28 41 54 70 70 T 5000 pF +100/-0% .7 100V 9 15 28 41 53 66 70 70 API TECHNOLOGIES • 8061 Avonia Rd. • Fairview, PA 16415 • Ph: 814-474-1571 • Fax: 814-474-3110 • eis.apitech.com API TECHNOLOGIES’ SPECTRUM CONTROL GmbH • Hansastrasse 6 • 91126 Schwabach, Germany • Phone: (49)-9122-795-0 • Fax: (49)-9122-795-58 SC6
