Ceramic Capacitors
we offer performance and
cost alternatives to meet
varied voltage, capacitance,
packaging and budgetary
requirements
Discoidal Feed-Through Capacitors
are ideal for by-pass and filtering
applications with a low inductance
construction suited for high frequency
applications. Their low profile and
rugged design is an excellent
alternative to ceramic tubes… 11
Tubular Feed-Through Capacitors
are small, lightweight with high dielectric
strength and are impervious to moisture and
contamination. Feed-through capacitors have
a uniform insertion loss over a broad spectrum
range and are ideal for multi-pin connector
applications… 12
Tubular Pi Capacitors have similar
characteristics to feed-through capacitors
in addition to a narrower transition between
the pass and stop bands, effectively
stopping high frequency interference
without affecting desired frequencies
and providing filtering of noise
content close to signal content … 13
SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply)
Capacitors deliver lower equivalent
series resistance, lower equivalent series
inductance, lower ripple voltage and less
self-heating when compared to other
capacitor technologies… 14-15
Planar Capacitors offer a faster assembly
time compared to stand-alone chips, discoidal
or tubular capacitors. They also have a low
profile and are capable of meeting various
geometric and electrical configurations, making
these planar capacitors the new standard in
EMI suppression applications… 16

Discoidal
Capacitors
Ceramic discoidal feed-through capacitors are the
building blocks of the EMI filter industry. API’s Spectrum
Control discoidal capacitors provide great versatility in
meeting varied voltage, capacitance and dimensional
requirements. Our nonpolar, multilayer capacitors are
small, reliable and high in dielectric strength. Operational
temperatures of -55°C to +125°C are achieved with no
voltage de-rating.
The versatile nature of our discoidals makes them
ideally suited for by-pass and filtering applications. Due to
their low inductance construction, these capacitors perform
extremely well in high frequency applications. The circular
geometry of a discoidal feed-through capacitor offers many
paths to ground, resulting in lower impedance and better
filtering performance.
The low profile and rugged design of our discoidal
capacitors offer an excellent alternative to ceramic tubes.

Tubular FT Capacitors
Feed-through tubular capacitors are ideally suited for
by-pass and filtering applications. Due to the cylindrical
design, the capacitors will have uniform insertion loss
over a broad frequency range. This structure yields
a low inductance when compared to conventional
wound capacitors.
Solid FT capacitors have no internal electrodes
and find their primary usage in low cost applications.
Multilayered FT capacitors have a higher capacitance
to volume ratio and are ideally suited for greater filtering
at lower frequencies. Multilayered FT capacitors are also
designed for applications where source impedances are
high and sharp attenuation rise is critical.

Advantages of a Filtered Connector
■
■
■
Low ground impedance – Full ground
plate and metallic shell provide minimal
impedance and superior performance
compared to on-board filter with
high impedance
Eliminate re-radiation – Filtered
connector at interface leaves no path
for bypassing the filter
Ground plane shielding – API’s filtered
connector ground planes shield the box
even at the connector port
■
■
■
■
Efficient space utilization – Filters
located in the connectors provide additional
space on PCB board
Consistent performance – Filtered
connectors provide more consistent
pin to pin performance
Fewer components – Filtered
connectors reduce component count
creating cost savings
Reliability – API tests 100% of filters,
on-board filters are usually spot tested
