EESeal® filter inserts from Quell offer easy and effective EMI reduction without having to redesign circuits. The thin silicon inserts fit tightly onto standard connector pins — no tools or soldering needed.
Using the proper method and careful application, however, will guarantee your filter inserts perform as intended.
To ensure the best contacts, follow the step-by-step instructions in these brief guides, categorized by connector type.
Also included are recommendations for safely removing filter inserts.
