EMI Tight Rectangular Connector Assemblies Development

Abstract

Due to the increase of high-speed data transmission and fast edge signal, electrical radiated compatibility is, more than ever, a common problem for space applications. To ensure compatibility between units and spacecraft sensitive receivers, good shielding and overshielding is needed but may not be enough. This paper presents Airbus Defence and Space, AXON and C&K recent work on EMI sub-D and Micro-D connectors.
