ABSTRACT:
A filtered, multiple terminal, electrical connector for use with circuit boards or the like. The connector comprises a housing, a plurality of terminals positioned in the housing, and a monolithic planar capacitor filter for filtering interference. The terminals comprise resilient spring members and are configured such that when a second connector is mated with the connector, the terminals of the second connector will apply a retention force against the terminals, forcing them toward and pressing them against the monolithic planar capacitor to maintain the terminals in firm electrical contact with the monolithic planar capacitor. The connector also includes U-shaped grounding clips having first arms which extend into the housing in electrical contact with the monolithic planar capacitor, and second arms external of the housing for providing external grounding paths. The terminals each include a protrusion thereon adapted to impinge shoulders on the housing to resist withdrawal of the terminals from the housing while permitting them to be easily inserted into the housing. The filtered connector is fully interchangeable with its unfiltered counterpart and is low in cost, simple in construction, and easy to assemble.
