M15733/44-0003

Overview

The M15733/44-0003 is an LC (Pi) EMI feedthrough filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. This component features a capacitance value of 65 pF and is designed for chassis mounting applications. It belongs to the MIL-DTL-15733 series, ensuring compliance with military-grade specifications for electromagnetic interference suppression in sensitive electronic systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides effective attenuation of high-frequency electromagnetic interference through LC Pi-filter topology
• Designed for direct chassis mounting to ensure secure installation and grounding
• Constructed to meet rigorous MIL-DTL-15733 standards for reliability

Applications

• Military avionics systems requiring certified EMI suppression
• Radar equipment signal integrity protection
• Communication systems interfacing with external antennas or cables

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level against current MIL-DTL-15733 requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 65 pF capacitance rating aligns with the circuit's impedance matching needs. Ensure chassis mounting hardware compatibility is assessed during the integration phase to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-capacitance Pi-filter configuration is required for high-frequency noise reduction. The 65 pF value makes it suitable for applications where minimal signal loading is critical. Compare against other MIL-DTL-15733 variants if higher capacitance or different mounting styles are needed for alternative frequency bands.
