ABSTRACT:
A filter apparatus includes a housing having a first body portion and a second body portion which mate together to enclose an accessible inner portion of the housing. Filtering elements disposed within the inner portion filter signals transmitted through a pair of signal carriers which pass through the inner portion. A pair of guides disposed within the inner portion maintain the electrical conductors in a predetermined positional relationship with certain of the filter elements. The guides are each actuated by placing a signal carrier against a predetermined portion of the guide and applying manual pressure against the signal carriers to cause the signal carrier to be pressed into a the predetermined positional relationship. Certain embodiments include contact push posts which pierce an insulating layer of a corresponding signal carrier to make electrical contact with the signal carrier. Other embodiments include a cutting element to sever the signal carriers to implement a four-terminal filter.
