ABSTRACT:
A filtered electrical connector comprises a selectively plated insulator housing having a plurality of pin terminals and a like plurality of small electrical components. The insulator housing is made of a platable thermoplastic part and a non-platable thermoplasitc part is a two shot molding process. The platable thermoplastic part provides a row of terminal cavities and a predominate portion of the insulator housing surfaces. The non-platable thermoplastic part lines surfaces of the platable thermoplastic part that are adjacent exposed portions of the pin terminals and also partitions portions of the platable thermoplastic part to provide individual mounting sites for the small electrical component associated with each of the terminal cavities. The surfaces of the platable part are plated with a metal coating while the surfaces of the non-platable part are not so that each mounting site comprises a pair of spaced electrical contacts that are connected by conductive paths to their associated conductive terminal cavity and to an electrical shield (ground plane) respectively. The electrical components are attached to the mounting sites so that their spaced contacts engage the respective spaced electrical contacts at the mounting site and individual circuits through these electrical components are completed by inserting the pin terminals into their respective terminal cavities.
