Chip-on-Flex Filter Connector

Cannon’s Chip-on-Flex Filter Connector technology provides a significant performance improvement in thermal shock and vibration to the ceramic planar array technology that is the current industry standard. The current planar array design utilizes a ceramic block capacitor with plated thru holes where feed thru contacts are inserted and soldered into place. Internal stresses associated with vibration, thermal expansion/contraction can build at the solder joints and cause the ceramic material to crack resulting in a filter failure. As a consequence, thermal shock screening and burn in procedures are often used for quality assurance.
