Weald Electronics, a leading UK manufacturer of electronic and electrical connectors specialising in high performance military circular connectors based on the Mil-C-5015 & Mil-C-26482 specification, just announced a new filtered connector designed for applications demanding EMI suppression.
No External Filters Needed With EMI Circular Connectors From Weald ElectronicsThe LMHF filter connector series is a version of Weald’s established and successful MiL-C-26482 series 1 compliant LMH bayonet coupling circular connector and is designed to eliminate the need for external filters which means reduced weight and less assembly time and cost.
These miniature bayonet connectors are compact, lightweight and come in a choice of three shell styles and nine shell sizes with contact configurations available from 6 to 55. They are offered in both fixed square flange or single hole mounting shell styles.
The connector shells are made from aluminium alloy with a standard finish of olive drab chromate conversion over cadmium plate. They feature gold plated, non-removable solder or PCB type contacts.
The inserts are polychloroprene, compounded to a proprietary Weald Electronics specification which gives the connectors a very wide operating temperature range of – 55ºC to +125ºC.
The connectors incorporate multilayer ceramic planar capacitor arrays to form the capacitive filtering elements. This enables a variety of filter values and configurations to be realised within a single filtered connector and, as a result, C, LC and Pi section filtering can all be accommodated within a single shell. Connection to the planar array – both for contact to pins and to the shell – is made via compliant mechanisms. High precision machined and photo-etched components provide excellent thermal and mechanical stress relief against conditions encountered in everyday use.
The LMHF Series is exclusively available through Weald’s sole Worldwide distributor Lane Electronics.
