A filter connector (10) that includes a grounded shell (12) with an axis (14), a plurality of contacts (20) extending parallel to the axis, and a pi filter coupled to the contacts, the pi filter including a pair of planar capacitors (40, 42) with holes (50, 66) through which the contacts pass and ferrite beads (44) with holes through which the contacts pass. The invention provides connections between contact locations (104, 120) and conductive layers (80, 82) that extend around each hole of each planar capacitor. A coil spring (100) extends between a conductive layer on a rearward planar capacitor (42) and a shoulder (120) on a contact to establish an electrical connection there while biasing the contact rearwardly (R). A slideable retainer ring (112) is slid along the front end of the contact until it presses rearwardly against a conductive layer (80) on the front planar capacitor (40) and locks to the front portion of the contact at a location (104) that assures compression of the corresponding coil spring.
