The Chip-on-Flex (CoF) filter connectors from ITT Interconnect Solutions have been enhanced with the addition of TVS (transient voltage/surge suppression) capabilities. The CoF design features one standard flex per layout and utilizes a flexible circuit internal to the connector with chip capacitors surface-mounted on a small pad adjacent to the feed-through contact. This structure creates off-the-shelf devices that provide both filtering and surge/lightning protection. Tested to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III mechanical shock, vibration, and high-altitude DWV specifications, the CoF filter connectors exceed 1000 cycles of thermal shock per MIL-STD-1344. The connectors feature contact counts from one to 600 and are available in rack-and-panel, circular, and D-subminiature configurations.
