Abstract
Bishop and Associates Inc. has just released a new 14 chapter market research
report providing a detailed analysis of connectors that feature the capability
of mitigating the negative effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and/or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The proliferation of electronic devices in both military as well as in the
consumer market has made the management of EMI and ESD issues a key
consideration early in the new product design cycle. Filtered connectors are
available in circular and rectangular configurations, and utilize a variety of
filter technologies including chip capacitors, tubular, and planar.
This new report addresses the most common filtered connector types in use
today including a variety of military / aerospace circulars, Mil-C-24308
Subminiature D connectors and ARINC connectors.
Filtered connectors utilized in industrial, medical, telecommunications and
consumer products include commercial Subminiature D, RJ45 jacks with
integrated magnetics, and filtered IEC power inlets.
High-speed digital signals can be corrupted by both conducted and radiated
interference. Design engineers must insure that equipment is protected from
electronic noise created by other devices in the area. At the same time,
electronic equipment must not become a source of radiated noise that exceeds
government emission limits. A combination of higher data rates, increased
packaging density, switching power supplies and constant pressure to reduce
product cost has increased the challenge to design equipment that achieves
electromagnetic compatibility.
A variety of design approaches including shielding and filtering can be
utilized to insure system compatibility. Discrete filtering elements located
on the printed circuit board can be effective, but consume valuable space and
assembly labor. The most effective location for filtering to be implemented
is within the input/output interface. Electronic interference is stripped
from data and power lines at the wall of the shielded enclosure. The
integrated ground plane in a filtered connector insures that there are no
apertures through which radiated noise can enter or escape the product.
This new report begins with a tutorial on the basics of electromagnetic theory
as well as EMI filtering and ESD protection techniques. chapters are devoted
to discussion of filter performance for each filter type, how products are
tested and verified for EMI compatibility, and how global emission standards
have influenced the design of new electronic equipment. Other chapters review
alternatives to the use of filtered connectors and types of devices used to
protect sensitive equipment from static discharge.
Additional chapters review typical military, and commercial applications that
utilize filtered and ESD protected connectors and identifies potential growth
markets. A detailed review of advances in filter technology as well as
recently introduced products is included. Separate chapters provide overviews
of the current supplier base for both military and commercial connectors, with
listings and photos of their filtered product lines.
A 25-page chapter provides extensive data on the estimated market value of
filtered connectors by connector type and region of the world. Additional
charts provide market forecast projections to 2014 with a 5-year CAGR
percentage. A detailed appendix provides a useful list of terms and
definitions used in the report.
This report is an update of a report published by Bishop & Associates in 2004,
and details changes in both the technology and products that have influenced
the filtered and ESD protected connector market over the past six years.
