Vertically Integrated Spectrum

Fairview, PA – March 9, 2010 – Spectrum Advanced Specialty Products now manufactures all components for its custom filtered and unfiltered connectors, including planar and tubular capacitors, shells, shields, seals and grommets. With a standard lead time of 8 to 10 weeks ARO, Spectrum has the shortest lead time in the industry. Complete in-house production allows Spectrum to maintain tighter quality control, resulting in a higher performing connector with a shorter lead time, all at a competitive cost. Audio, circular, and hermetically sealed connectors are available.

Spectrum's complete line of compact and extended shell filtered connectors provide a wide range of design flexibility. Compact shell filtered connectors offer an effective filtering device that reduces the amount of real estate required within a product enclosure. Their extended shell connectors are ideal when a quick turnaround is required for prototype devices. Filtered connector styles include MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-83723, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-55116 and MIL-DTL-24308, but custom designs inquiries are welcome. Tubular and planar-style filtering is also available in Pi, LC, T and C circuits with TVS protection.

Complete in-house design and manufacturing of custom unfiltered connectors is also offered by Spectrum. Parts can be designed to meet various environmental specifications or those of similar QPL connectors. Additionally, unfiltered connectors can be built to MIL specifications for demanding applications. With multiple terminations available and integral strain relief, Spectrum's custom unfiltered connectors can be designed to meet your specific mechanical requirements.
