A new EMI filter plate from Spectrum Control comes with a special epoxy potting and rubber pin protector for applications in which rough handling or challenging environmental conditions are typical. The filter plates utilize ceramic capacitors as the filter element, and the special potting protects their electrical and mechanical integrity during shipping and typical use. The epoxy potting reduces the likelihood of any physical stresses, which might crack the capacitors and cause them to fail. Additionally, an added rubber pin protector prevents the leads from being bent. These filter plates are available in Easy Mate®, Easy Mate® Jr., bolt-in, and shrouded latch styles.
