ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprising a metal plate (30) containing a plurality of apertures (32). Disposed on each side of the plate (30) is a resilient rubber plug (42,44). Pairs of holes (45) in the plugs (42,44) are aligned with the apertures (32) in the plate (30) for receiving respective filter elements (16) therein. Adjacent each aperture (32) in the plate there is integrally formed with the plate (32) a resilient contact finger (36) which lies adjacent and parallel to the filter element (16). Disposed around the periphery of the metal plate (30) is a plurality of further fingers (38) which lie adjacent and parallel to the inner side wall of a tubular metal housing (34). A pair of rigid plates (46,48) disposed outboard of the rubber plugs (42,44) can be selectively brought together whereby to compress the plugs therebetween. The resulting lateral distortion of the plugs is arranged to have a three-fold effect. Fristly, the filter elements are gripped tightly in the holes in the plugs. Secondly, the fingers (36) are urged into good electrical contact with the periphery of the filter elements and thirdly the fingers (38) are urged into good electrical contact with the inner peripheral wall of the housing (34).
