EMP/HEMP filters mitigate naturally occurring and intentional EMI
Using protective power filtering technology at the electronic assembly level, these API solutions provide improved transient protection when compared to traditional EMI filtering technologies, without compromising the high performance required in mission critical mobile, aircraft and fixed facility applications. Designed for use in high reliability commercial, industrial, defence and government applications, API’s EMP/HEMP product platform also has a small form factor that is ideal for space-saving or reduced weight requirements as well as multiple connector options for ease of system integration. This proviides increased flexibility and mobility when compared to traditional EMI shielding equipment;
At the onset of an EMP event or electromagnetic interference attack, rapid changes in electric and magnetic fields generate harmful currents that can enter a chip through any unprotected paths of entry to the system, such as power lines, signal, data, audio and control lines, and antenna entries. The EMP/HEMP filters protect electronics equipment by absorbing the potentially destructive EMP voltage and current within the filter before it reaches the electronic devices. Without protection from this harmful EMI, damage and disruption to system operability can be catastrophic, causing not only loss of data, security, and connectivity, but potentially the loss of life.
“API Technologies’ expanded EMP/HEMP product platform supports our customers’ needs to protect mission-critical communications systems, avionics equipment and fixed facility electronics from the emerging threat of a range of IEMI attacks and the unpredictability of unintentional energy surges,” said Larry Howanitz, Senior Vice President for Electromagnetic Integrated Solutions at API Technologies. “Our high reliability, MIL-grade solutions not only provide one of the smallest footprints available in the market, but also the added flexibility of widely ranging interconnect options for ease of integration into existing systems.”
API’s full line of EMP/HEMP filter solutions are designed to meet MIL-STD-188-125, E1 and E2 pulse test requirements and are rated for 6A, 16A and 30A. In support of application-specific requirements, products designed to meet modified E3 Pulse tests are also available.
