Spectrum Control — formerly APITech / API Technologies
V7.1 adds the legacy/current Spectrum Control filtered Micro-D 56F family while keeping the evidence gate conservative. API Technologies and APITech remain search aliases because Spectrum Control states that APITech changed its name to Spectrum Control in January 2023.
Filtered Micro-D Series 56F
Published contact sizes: 9, 15, 21, 25, 31, 37
Pitch: 1.27 mm / 0.050 in
Current rating: 3 A
Temperature evidence: -55 to +125 °C.
Guardrail: 51, 69 and 100 contacts are not exposed. ConnectorAtlas only publishes the six sizes explicitly mapped by the reviewed 56F ordering guide.
PCB configurations
Vertical: pin/socket PC-tail options
Right-angle: pin/socket right-angle options
Published layouts: 9/15/21/25/31/37 for both vertical and right-angle PCB.
The reviewed combination rules require the requested contact count to be one of the six catalog-published sizes; orientation is never transferred by assumption.
Solder-cup configurations
Termination: pin-to-solder-cup and socket-to-solder-cup
Family: filtered 56F Micro-D
Filtering: catalog ordering includes all-position or selective loading and multiple FT/COB capacitance options.
Filter topology/capacitance are documented but are not yet hard-search attributes in the public engine.
ESD evidence guardrail
The family description states that capacitive and ESD versions exist.
Not yet searchable as a verified ESD configuration: the reviewed public ordering pages do not provide an ESD-specific size/termination matrix. A query that explicitly requires ESD therefore returns no verified match rather than silently falling back to the generic filtered family.
