ABSTRACT:
A filter connector (24; 90; 116) comprises an electrically conductive shell (60; 91; 118); a dielectric body (50; 93; 120) mounted to the shell and having a sidewall (52), a row of passages (56; 95; 123) extending therethrough with each receiving an electrical contact (51; 97; 124); and a row of separated cavities (58; 99; 122); extending inwardly from the sidewall in a direction transverse to that of the passages with each communicating with only one respective passage; a monolithic chip-type capacitor (80) including active and ground electrodes disposed in each cavity and contacting the contact; and a bias member (70; 100; 126) of electrically conductive material coupling each electrical contact and associated capacitor to the shell. One bias member embodiment comprises a separate comb-like member (70; 100) wherein a plurality of spring tines (74, 76; 104, 106) extend from a common flange (71, 102) with each spring tine having a portion contacting the shell and a knee portion (75; 105) engaging the ground electrode and biasing the active electrode of the capacitor inwardly against the contact, one application mounting the flange (71) to the dielectric body and another application mounting the flange (102) to the shell outer wall. Another bias member embodiment comprises a spring tine (126) having a medial knee portion (127) and a distal foot portion (128) integrally formed to its respective contact with the knee portion biasing the capacitor into contact with the shell and the foot portion into contact with the contact body. Further, separate and integrally formed bias members (110, 130) are provided for grounding mated connector shells.
