EMI FILTERED CONNECTORS USING INTERNALLY GROUNDED FEEDTHROUGH CAPACITORS

摘要

An EMI filtered connector includes a plurality of conductive terminal pins, a grounded conductive connector housing through which the terminal pins pass in non-conductive relation, and an array of feedthrough filter capacitors. Each of the feedthrough filtered capacitors has a distinct first set of electrode plates, a non-distinct second set of electrode plates, and a first passageway through which a respective terminal pin extends in conductive relation with the first set of electrode plates. At least one ground lead is conductively coupled to the conductive connector housing and extends into a second passageway through the array of feedthrough filter capacitors in conductive relation with the second set of electrode plates. An insulator is disposed in or adjacent to the connector for mounting the conductive termina l pins for passage through the conductive connector with the conductive terminal pins and the connector in non-conductive relation. The outer peripheral surface of the array of feedthrough filter capacitors is non-conductive.
