The new FCT range of filter D-type connectors and accessories are now available from Aerco.

The new FCT range of filter D-type connectors and accessories are now available from Aerco Supplied in standard and mixed layout, in shell sizes one to five and with 9-50 contact pins, these new filter Ds include plastic, metal and shielded plastic connector hoods

They are compatible with all standard D-type connectors and allow cost-effective development of EMI/EMC approved designs providing protection against surges, conducted disturbances, induced or electrostatic disturbances and conducted emissions.

Filtering is by a ceramic capacitor that provides a lowpass filter with minimal attenuation in the transmission pass band while the ground plane provides additional RF shielding.

Customised versions are available.

The FCT filtered connectors are fitted with RF foam clad gaskets that seal the area where the connector meets the wall of the appliance ensuring a high level of RF shielding.

This seal is also air and watertight thus preventing corrosion at the contact point.

Also available are shielded plastic caps for dust and RF protection and either metal or shielded plastic hoods.

A special crimping flange is available to complete shielding at the cable outlet of the connector shell.
