A common interface (10) for a PIM sensitive diplexing filter (30) is provided in a non-contacting, or isolated, configuration while providing PIM reliability, ESD conduction and thermal conduction, making it ideal for high power space applications. The common interface (10) is a one-piece construction of a diplexed, or multiplexed, coaxial, or squareax, transmission line that is constructed with a direct non-contacting (34, 36), or connectionless, interface. Terminations (26, 28) connect the inner conductor (20) to the outer conductor (12) of the interface (10) making the device one integral piece yet providing the necessary isolation through non-contacting interface with a PIM sensitive device and terminations (26, 28) that provide thermal and ESD conduction necessary for PIM reliablity.
