ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electrical connectors and, more particularly, to a filter connector having a ferrite block.
2. Prior Art
U.S. Pat. No. 5,489,220 discloses a filter connector having a ferrite barrel with rectangular bores. U.S. Pat. No. 5,213,522 discloses a filter connector with ferrite blocks surrounding portions of connector pins between the pins' two connection ends. U.S. Pat. No. 5,586,902 discloses a filter connector with a ferrite block spaced from the connector's contacts and located on conductor cables extending into the connector.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention an electrical connector is provided comprising a housing, electrical contacts connected to the housing, and a ferrite block connected to the housing. The contacts each have a first connection area for electrical connection to a mating contact and a second connection area for connection to an electrical conductor. The ferrite block surrounds a portion of at least one of the electrical contacts at a location between the first and second connection areas.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention an electrical connector is provided comprising a housing and electrical contacts connected to the housing. The electrical contacts each comprise a first female connection area for receiving a male contact and a lead extending from the first connection area at an angle of about 90°. The leads have flat side profiles. The connector further comprises at least one ferrite block surrounding the leads.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention an electrical connector is provided comprising a housing, electrical contacts connected to the housing, and a ferrite block. The ferrite block surrounds portions of the electrical contacts. The ferrite block has two slots extending through the block. Each slot has a height less than a width of the slot.
