Modular electrical signal filter assembly

摘要

A modular electronic signal filter assembly is provided, including a plurality of modular filter housing members joined to one another in a longitudinal direction via a plurality of coupling members. The outer peripheral surfaces of the filter housing members are provided with mechanical engagement members that engage and mate with a corresponding mechanical engagement member provided on the inner peripheral surface of the coupling members to secure the filter housing members to one another without solder. The coupling members also include an electrical connection member for electrically connecting the filter housing members in a solderless manner. The modularity of the filter housing assembly of the present invention provides heretofore unrealizable flexibility and applicability of a single filter housing unit for any filter application. Moreover, the present invention enables the assembly of modular filter housing and coupling member units without the need for solder.
