Ceramic Capacitors for Use in Filter Connectors

摘要

This paper describes the developing and qualifying of a filter connector. Since this filter connector used only capacitors rather than ferrites and capacitors, the typical characteristics of capacitors when used in a filter connector can be observed. Topics covered in this paper include connector construction, development results, and qualification data for both tubular capacitor and planar capacitor array designs. This paper will aid users and manufacturers of filter connectors in the selection of the appropriate capacitor type for use in their filter connectors and inform capacitor manufacturers of the difficulties encountered in using these capacitors.
