Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

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

“Our new filtered D-sub connectors are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of today’s high-performance applications across multiple industries,” said Bob Ydens, General Manager of EM Filters at Mobix Labs. “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.”

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.
