COMPLETE SHIELDING SYSTEMS
Switchcraft also
offers shielded DIN receptacles for use with shielded molded cable assemblies. Together they
provide a valuable design tool to
supress EMI interference to permit you to meet strict requirements of FCC Docket 20780.
ORDERING
1. Order by part number
2. For special order items, contact Switchcraft with details.
SPECIFYING NOTE:
See Connector Section for mating receptacles.
Switchcraft DIN molded cable assemblies meet
increased demand for modern, field-tested connections for a wide range of electrical/electronic
applications. Connectors are DIN (Deutsch Industrie Norm) circular type, male or female
(locking or non-locking) with 3 to 8 pins/contacts. Units are molded and protected with a
rugged handle, and are fully shielded and equipped with advance design cable relief. Switchcraft
cable assemblies and mating receptacles adhere to strict requirements of FCC Docket 20780 and
offer fully shielded links for data and instrumentation applications of all kinds.
SHIELDING EFFECTIVENESS
Effectiveness of shielding is
frequency-dependent; as frequency increases, more shielding is required to maintain comparable
shielding effectiveness. The chart below delineates shielding effectiveness with molded cable
assemblies with 100% foil shield cables and shielded DIN
connectors.
