MIL-PRF-15733/616 Performance Specification Sheet for Radio Frequency Interference Filters

Category: Defense Logistics Agency, Electronics, Passive Filters

Overview

The current document is a performance specification sheet identified as MIL-PRF-15733/616 provided on 4 February 2011, which supersedes the previous version dated 2 September 2010. Its primary focus is on defining the performance requirements for certain types of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) filters designated as styles FL30, FL32, FL34, and FL43. The specification sheet has been officially approved by the Department of Defense and it serves as a guide for acquiring these filters based on the defined specifications.

Part Numbers and Design Considerations

It’s important to note that Part or Identifying Numbers (PIN’s) M15733/61-0001 and 0004 are designated as inactive for new designs as of 4 December 1979. This change indicates that these particular parts should not be considered for new design projects, and instead, interested parties should refer to Table V for up-to-date design data. This directive ensures that any new designs will comply with current standards and employ the most updated components.

Filter Descriptions and Configurations

The specification outlines various dash numbers associated with different models of filters, which likely correspond to specific performance characteristics or physical dimensions. These dash numbers include 0001, 0002, 0008, 0013, 0014, and 0015 for one group, 0003 and 0004 for another group, and 0006, 0007, and 0011 for the last group. Although the content provided does not detail the exact distinctions between these groups, they are presumably relevant to procurement and use.

Documentation and Reference

This performance specification sheet is also meant to be used in conjunction with the main MIL-PRF-15733 specification. An explicit instruction to “SEE NOTE” suggests that there are additional details or conditions that are crucial for understanding the full requirements of the RFI filters but are not provided in the snippet of the datasheet. Interested parties should consult the full specification sheet and the main MIL-PRF-15733 document for comprehensive information.

Hardware Dimensions and Circuit Configurations

Figure 1 is mentioned as a source for hardware dimensions and circuit configurations, although it isn’t included in the provided content. This figure is essential for engineers and designers as it would offer visual guidance on the physical attributes of the filters and how they are to be integrated into electronic systems.

Miscellaneous Information

Lastly, the sheet includes specific codes such as AMSC N/A (indicative of the document’s status in the Acquisition Management Systems Control) and FSC 5915 (the Federal Supply Classification code related to filter and network devices). These codes are important for cataloging and reference within the broad scope of military and federal procurement systems.
