s
Low ground impedance –
Full ground plate and
metallic shell provide minimal impedance and superior
performance compared to on-board filter with high
impedance
Eliminate re-radiation –
Filtered connector at
interface leaves no path for bypassing the filter
Ground plane shielding –
Spectrum Control filtered
connector ground planes shield the box even at the
connector port
Efficient space utilization –
Filters located in
connector provides additional space on PCB board
Consistent performance –
Filtered connectors
provide more consistent pin to pin performance
Fewer components –
Filtered connectors reduce
component count creating cost savings
Reliability –
Spectrum Control tests 100% of filters,
on-board filters are usually spot tested

Series F Ferrite Filtered
Connectors
The Series F filtered D-subminiature connectors
incorporate a solid slab of ferrite material as the filtering
element. This rugged one piece design provides a com-
pact connector that is a drop-in replacement for standard
connectors. The ferrite material has been chosen for
optimum filtering performance in the 10 to 300 MHz.
