Filter Plates
FA2
Eliminating EMI/RFI interference has become a stringently
enforced matter and needs to be considered at the early
stages of design for all electronic systems. Both internal
and external interference sources have a major impact
on the successful EMC performance of a new system.
Shielding alone is unsatisfactory in shunting unwanted
harmonics, conducted or radiated, on power/control
lines that run through compartments of an electronic
enclosure. This is particularly applicable in systems
operating at frequencies above 50 MHz. Isolation and
the incorporation of feed-through filters (Filter Plates) to
facilitate entering or leaving sensitive compartments in
an assembly are excellent methods to bring electronic
interdependent functions/systems into compliance.
Filter plates allow a means of interfacing voltage
and/or data (controlling instructions) to distant areas of
a system without compromising its performance. Filter
plates provide excellent isolation from 5 MHz to 18 GHz
and beyond, reduce the labor involved for installation,
and reduce the risk of damaging filter elements during
installation. Connecting to these filter plates is easily
accomplished through several methods, including ribbon
style connectors, harnesses, hard wiring or directly
soldering leads at a 90° angle to the printed circuit board.
The drawings on pages FA4, FA10 and FA14 illustrate
how filter plates are incorporated into an electronic system.

Easy Mate Filter Plates
API’s Spectrum Control brand developed an EMI/RFI
filter plate, Easy Mate, which simplifies installation and
eliminates the need for mounting hardware. The Easy
Mate, patented, is designed to “snap” into the chassis
of electronic systems, reducing the labor required to
complete a plate installation. The drawing on page FA4
shows the Easy Mate design.
These plates are available in two lengths and in both
standard density centers (.100") and high-densitycenters
(2mm). Standard density Easy Mate plates offer up to 26
lines per plate in a double row configuration, while high-
density plates offer up to 32 lines. Custom sizes for Easy
Mate plates are available.
Example: 52-898-206-BA2
The part number shown represents an Easy Mate filter plate with 2 rows,
6 filters per row. Filters are C style with a capacitance value of 100pF.
The plate length is 1.092", and the leads are bent 90° to the right side.

Bolt-in Style Filter Plates
The Bolt-in style plate provides an excellent method
for electronic system interface and EMI filtering. Bolt-in
filter plates are available in a variety of plate sizes and
up to 74 lines per plate in high-density (2mm) and 60 pins
per plate in standard density (.100"). On the larger plate
sizes, API ensures structural integrity through a unique,
patent pending, coining process. The drawing on page
FA10 shows an electronic system utilizing Bolt-in style
filter plates.

Custom Filter Plates
High Volume Industrial
As a long-term producer of filter plates for industrial
applications, API Technologies understands the cost
requirements of this market. In turn, we have established
a program to develop and manufacture custom designed
filter plates for cost sensitive industrial applications.
We have engineered a variety of capacitive only
filter elements that provide excellent RF isolation from
5 MHz to 1 GHz and beyond. To determine the available
capacitance values, contact API. Our technical staff will
work with you to develop a solution that meets your
system and budget needs.
Military/High Reliability
Improving the electromagnetic compliance (EMC) of
electronic systems is an area of intense focus within
the defense and avionics industries. To achieve this goal,
many companies are replacing discrete filter elements
and surface mount filters with feed-through filter plate
assemblies for higher frequency isolation.
API will custom design a filter plate that meets your
size, material and filtering requirements. We are capable
of providing stringent testing and analysis of our filter
plate assemblies to MIL-F-15733 and MIL-F-28861.

EMI Filter Performance
The electrical characteristics table and insertion loss
graphs indicate the performance of feed-through capacitors
and Pi type filters. Utilize this information to specify the
EMI filtering components included in your filter plate.
Custom Filtering
API Technologies’ Spectrum Control line of filter plates are
engineered to accommodate selective line filtering. Several
different types of filters may be specified in a single, easy
to install filter plate, allowing you to facilitate a wide range
of filtering requirements.
For selective line filtering, provide a sketch indicating
the filters and positions required. The example below
represents a 10 pin, 2 row plate with six 1000 pF feed-
through capacitors and four 1700 pF Pi type filters.
Above curves represent application of proper
