ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector adapted to protect its signal circuits against power surges for at least ESD protection, having a conductive shell (60) with a transverse flange (64) on which are mounted components such as diodes (100) having first electrodes soldered thereto for grounding. A plurality of discrete straps (114) extend from second electrodes of the diodes to respective the contacts (20) and define circuits electrically connecting the contacts to the diodes. The dielectric housing (30) includes slots (46) along side surfaces within which the straps are retained, and a lateral housing flange (42) has recesses (54) within which the diodes are disposed. The method of fabricating the connector includes providing on at least a portion of each strap (114) a thin second layer (152) of magnetic material which in conjunction with the nonmagnetic copper layer (150) defines a self-regulating temperature heater when subjected to RF current, to reflow solder to join to and electrically connect the diodes (100) and contacts (20).
