ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having means for suppressing electromagnetic interference when the connector pins are separated from the pin sockets. To this end, each of the connector pins or each pin socket is contained in an electrically conductive housing. The housing forms an open space about and extending beyond each pin or socket. This open space forms a waveguide having a predetermined upper cutoff frequency. This cutoff frequency depends on the length of the waveguide measured from the tip of each pin or socket to the end of the waveguide and on the diameter or largest dimension of the waveguide, which may be a cylindrical waveguide. Each of the corresponding pin sockets has an outer insulation tube which fits into the open waveguide. Further, each pin socket is provided with a spring contact for making electrical connection to the respective connector pins. The cutoff frequency of the waveguide is selected to be substantially above the highest frequency of the expected electromagnetic interference.
