Discrete EMI Filters

What is EMI?

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is an electromagnetic emission that causes interference in another electronic device. EMI encompasses the entire electromagnetic spectrum but is most applicable to modern electronic devices over the frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 GHz.

Real-world EMI situations often feature both conducted and radiated emissions, with any or all wires and cables acting as receiving or transmitting antennas.

Why are EMI Filters Important?

EMI can be from intentional or unintentional sources, continuous or intermittent, and at a single frequency or across a broad range of frequencies. Radiated EMI often requires shielding electronic components inside a metallic enclosure, and maintaining that shield requires cables and wires to be filtered at the point of entry. Filters reduce conducted EMI on wires and cables into and out of the enclosure. Point of entry feedthrough EMI filters require low-impedance coaxial connections to the metal enclosure to function correctly.

Spectrum Control’s discrete EMI/EMC filter products focus on miniaturization. We achieve high packing density in circuit designs that allow us to meet the needs where component size is a premium and the highest level of integration is desired. Whether an off-the-shelf solution or a custom-engineered design, we are the ideal source for discrete EMI filters.

Spectrum Control's industry-leading product line includes solder-in EMI filters, glass and resin seal EMI filters, surface mount EMI filters, and EMI filter arrays and plates. We offer over 800 standard QPL products and DSCC part numbers and the largest number of MIL-PRF-15733, MIL-PRF-28861, DSCC 84084, MIL-PRF-49470, and MIL-C-11015 filters.
