Advanced connectivity solutions provider Mobix Labs Inc. has introduced a new family of filtered D-sub connectors, designed to eliminate unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in defense, aerospace, medical, and commercial applications. 

Robust EMI Filtering D-Sub Connectors Released for Defense Technology

The MPC/MCD Series connectors feature robust construction and superior EMI filtering capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in the most demanding environments.

Mobix Labs’ filtered D-sub connectors provide a practical solution for integrating EMI suppression with data connectivity, making them essential in environments where signal integrity and interference reduction are paramount. 

By integrating filtering components directly into the connector, these products help maintain the integrity of transmitted signals and eliminate the need for separate filtering devices. This integration saves space and reduces costs, making these connectors more efficient.

The new filtered D-sub connectors come in various pin configurations, accommodating different data transmission needs, and maintain the standard D-sub interface for easy compatibility with existing systems.

Filtered D-Sub Connector Features

Advanced filtering options
Available with planar arrays, ceramic (Pi) tubes, or chip capacitors to ensure optimal signal integrity.

High insertion loss
Achieves insertion loss of 70-80 dB for Pi filters and 50-60 dB for C filters, ideal for minimizing resonance in high-demand environments.

Customizable designs
Tailored to meet specific requirements of defense, aerospace, medical, and commercial applications.

Robust construction
Nickel-plated steel shell with nickel-plated aluminum backshell and copper alloy nickel-gold plated contacts for maximum durability and reliability.

High current rating
Rated at 5 amps with a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms.

Versatile mounting options
Available with 4-40 threaded nuts and/or board locks; also offered in high-density D-sub connector configurations.

Capacitance values
200 pF Pi, 1,000 pF Pi, 2,500 pF Pi, 4,000 pF Pi, 100 pF C, 500 pF C, 1,200 pF C, and 2,000 pF C.

New MPC/MCD Series Product Lineup

The new filtered D-sub connectors are available in Pi Filter (MPD) and C Filter (MCD) configurations to meet diverse application needs:

  • MPDXFSQ MPD/MCD Series – Female with square post terminations
  • MPDXFP MPD/MCD Series – Female with PC tail terminations
  • MPDXFS MPD/MCD Series – Female with solder cup terminations
  • MPDXMSQ MPD/MCD Series – Male with square post terminations
  • MPDXMP MPD/MCD Series – Male with PC tail terminations
  • MPDXMS MPD/MCD Series – Male with solder cup terminations

Bob Ydens, General Manager of EM Filters at Mobix Labs, commented, “Our new filtered D-sub connectors are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of today’s high-performance applications across multiple industries. With advanced EMI filtering options and customizable designs, these connectors provide exceptional signal integrity and resilience, supporting our commitment to innovation and quality in connectivity solutions.”
