Ordering Your Connector
STEP 1: SELECTING THE FILTER
■
Using the insert loss graphs on page FC20
determine which filters provide the required
attenuation at the troublesome frequency, while
not affecting the signal frequency by more than
3 to 6 dB.
■
Choose the filter type, either feed-through capacitor
or Pi. The Pi is generally considered better due to its
superior high frequency performance and steeper
curve. The feed-through capacitor is lower cost.
■
Select capacitance value.
■
Note the Spectrum letter designation for the
filter chosen from the table on page FC20.
STEP 2: SELECTING THE CONNECTOR
■
Turn to the appropriate size section.
(9, 15, 25, 37, 50)
■
Choose either pin contacts (plug) or socket
contacts (receptacle).
■
Choose the required termination type.
■
From the table on the appropriate connector
page, using the filter letter designation chosen
in step 1 above, select the part number.
STEP 3: SPECIFYING OPTIONS
■
Refer to page FC43 for special options
including heavy gold plating, 4-40 mounting
threads, grounding brackets, hardware,
and others.
■
Most options are available within the standard
lead times.
■
Some options require a part number suffix,
while other combinations may require factory
assistance for part number assignment. If a
suffix is shown, add it to your selected part
number. If more than one option is needed,
consult with factory for part number
assignment.
Note:
For additional mechanical, electrical, and
environmental specifications, refer to page FC79.
