2 Circular Connectors At API Technologies Corp. we know it is rare to find an off-the-shelf connector that completely satisfies the environmental, mechanical and electrical requirements of demanding, high reliability applications. In response to the market demand, API is designing and manufacturing their line of circular connectors out of the Great Yarmouth, UK facility for commercial, industrial and defence applications that are completely intermateable with MIL-DTL compact shell connectors. API reviewed its extensive library of proven connector designs to create a line of EMI filtered or unfiltered circular connectors that are highly reliable, durable and can be fully customised. Our standard circular connectors are available in wall mount, jam nut or straight plug shell options, 9 different shell sizes, 5 contact/termination styles and 18 insert configurations. The compact shell filtered connectors offer designers an effective filtering device that reduces the footprint required within a product enclosure. Our extended shell connectors are constructed by adding either planar or tubular capacitor filtering to the rear of a standard connector, which makes them ideal when quick turnaround is required for prototype devices. Manufacturing Support Within the API Technologies corporation, we are dedicated in supporting customer requirements. From shells and shields to seals and grommets, each component of your custom connector undergoes our extensive assembly and testing process, ensuring API is able to deliver extremely reliable, high performance connectors to fit both your economic and mechanical needs. From API s own manufacturing sites, we offer complete production capability including the manufacture of our own capacitors, shells and rubber seals. This in turn enables us to provide our customers with high quality parts at very competitive prices. 2

Our filtered compact shell connectors provide an effective filtering device that reduces the footprint required within a product enclosure.

In addition, we can accommodate your quick-turn schedule for prototyping by adding either planar or tubular capacitor filtering to the rear of a standard connector.

As with our filtered connectors, API offers multiple termination styles, various material and finishing options and a variety of shell styles and sizes.

Composite Shell Connectors For even greater design flexibility, API offers composite shell circular connectors.

3 defence/aerospace/industrial/commercial circular connectors EMI Filtered or Speciality Unfiltered Connectors API offers custom circular connectors in EMI filtered or unfiltered styles, including MIL- DTL-55116, , , and -5015, along with our small and lightweight Mini-MIL series. Our filtered compact shell connectors provide an effective filtering device that reduces the footprint required within a product enclosure. Using our expertise in EMI filter design and manufacturing, we offer planar-style filtered arrays, available in C and Pi circuits. Other filter circuits including transient protection are available. In addition, we can accommodate your quick-turn schedule for prototyping by adding either planar or tubular capacitor filtering to the rear of a standard connector. Unfiltered circular connectors can also be designed to meet various environmental and mechanical specifications. As with our filtered connectors, API offers multiple termination styles, various material and finishing options and a variety of shell styles and sizes. Integral strain relief, as well as power, signal and coax line features are also available. Composite Shell Connectors For even greater design flexibility, API offers composite shell circular connectors. These composite connectors feature shells fabricated from high grade thermoplastic and are designed to replace traditional metal connector shells for substantial weight reduction. The composite shell maintains the form, fit and function of the original connector shell, making it ideal for applications where weight is a critical factor. A composite shell version of any API s circular connector design is available. Custom Mechanical Packages API offers a unique material process and extensive machining capabilities, allowing us to easily modify the mechanical package of any connector, ensuring fast and affordable custom designs. Other connector manufacturers mould their composite shells, making custom designs expensive. At API, custom mechanical variations are machined allowing for unique packages without traditional tooling charges. Hermetically Sealed Connectors API also has a family of hermetically sealed circular connectors that protect against changes in atmospheric pressure and exposure to humidity, grime, and chemicals, making them ideal for aerospace engine control, hydraulic, and caustic environments where harsh conditions could exist. The hermetically sealed connector s receptacle has a seal of 10-7 cm 3 and comes in filtered and unfiltered versions. 3
