Through-hole Filters
High Frequency PCB Filters
API Technologies’ Spectrum Control line of high frequency
PCB filter provides EMI filtering to protect low power
digital circuits, while meeting most government and
industrial specifications for EMI control. With low assembly
and installation costs, the PCB filter helps keep your
project on budget. By mounting the PCB filter at the
source of the problem, we eliminate the need for
additional filtering at other points in the circuit. The filter
mounts directly to a printed circuit board with no mounting
bracket or plate needed, providing you with a lower total
installed cost. In addition, the PCB filter can be flow-
soldered with other components.
