Description
The 481 Series is a Filter connector plug with either pintail or
solder bucket type fixed pin contacts. These are designed to
meet the mechanical and environmental requirements of MIL-
C-24308. These connectors are available with filter, power
grounding contacts and EMI sealing plugs or any combination
thereof.
Mating Connector Information

Introduction
Design Features
1. One piece aluminium alloy shell with clear chromate finish
over cadmium plate. Shell with increased flange width for
improved shielding.
2. One panel cut-out for front and rear mounting.
3. Thermoset Inserts.
4. High temperature silicone rubber moisture seal.
5. Microstrip EMI grounding plate plated copper alloy.
6. High temperature contact heat dissipator plate.
7. Stress isolated filter contact.
Insert Arrangements
AMPHENOL’s Filter connectors are a system of reliability
engineered receptacles, plugs, contacts and accessories,
designed to pr
ovide a wide range of performance and
servicing features not previously available with ordinary EMI
filtering connectors.
These connectors are rugged enough to operate reliably
under high physical stress, and in the demanding
environmental conditions required of power connections.
The patented stress isolated EMI filter is composed of a
ceramic element attached to a sturdy contact in a way that
dampens all connector stresses and virtually eliminates the
chance of ceramic fracture due to vibration, thermal
and
physical shock.
Once inserted in the connector, the filter contact is engaged
by a Microstrip grounding plate designed to achieve
maximum insertion loss and to inhibit resonances due to
series inductance.
The use of filter connectors has the following advantages:
Space saving
Weight saving
Reduction in solder connections
Eliminates requirement for RFI screened box
Provides low impedance ground plane for filter network

Tests performed in strict accordance with MIL-STD-220* (No-Load) on Contacts in a 481 Series connector mated with a
Standard Non-Filter connector.
CAUTION Comparison with other filter connector manufacturers data may be misleading unless the following factors are
taken into account:
(1) is official (unmodified) MIL-STD-220 test method ultilised as basis for performance depicted? Modification will result in
an apparent (ficticious) higher response!
(2) is performance shown for filter contacts installed in connectors? If performance is based on discrete (single) contacts
tested to MIL-STD-220, higher levels of I.L. will be indicated due to grounding limitations inherent in any connector
design.
