ABSTRACT:
A connector with filter contacts enables removal of an individual surge suppression contact from the mating front end of the connector. The connector includes inserts (30-36, FIG. 1 ) forming contact-receiving passages (60), with the inserts inserted through the rear of a shell (14) until a frontmost insert (30) abuts a flange (40) at the front of the shell. The frontmost insert has a cavity (50) that holds a contact-retention clip (100), with the clip oriented so its band (102) is frontmost and its tines (104) extend rearwardly therefrom. A suppression contact (62) in each passage has a front end (64) projecting forward of the frontmost insert and has a forwardly-facing shoulder (110) lying substantially against the rear ends of the retention clip tines. The rear end (66) of each contact engages a wiring terminal (132) in a pin-and-socket connection. A suppression contact is removed by inserting a tool into the front end of the passage or cavity to expand the tines of the retention clip, and pulling out the contact through the front end of the connector.
