size, etc. Components and wiring are fully imbedded in protective silicone, so, for example, capacitors can’t ‘pop off’, and won’t be damaged cracked during installation or use. The silicone construction also withstands severe temperature ranges and exposure to many deteriorating influences such as ozone, chemicals, aging and UV; further there are no spring metal contacts (BeCu) to degrade or become brittle due to overstress during installation - EESeal contacts accommodate severe misalignment and mismatch without loss or performance. Finally, EESeals are usually lighter than PCBs or arrays. EESeal EMI inserts can be custom- manufactured in as little as seven days and will fit into many different hi-rel connector formats including MIL-C-38999, MIL-C-26482, MIL-C-5015, MIL-C-83723, ARINC, Eurofighter, Lemo, Centronix, MDM, D-subminiature, Micro D-subminiature and DIN. Custom connector forms can be as easily accommodated as standard types. All types of filtering element can be included - MOVs and other transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes can also be included within the silicone inserts offering surge protection as well as EMI. The new EESeal EMI inserts are available on a very fast turn-around from Astute Electronics, the leading supplier of electronic components and value added services.

compared with traditional EMI filters. They do not need any modification of the body shell and do not create air pockets or defeat existing

environmental seals. 3D construction, unlike 2D PCB solutions, does not risk violating applicable MIL standards for spacing, conformal coating, pad-
