摘要

A stacked connector comprises a first receptacle (14) in a first portion (78) of the connector. A second receptacle (16) is stacked on the first receptacle (14) in the first portion (78) of the connector. A group (20) of first contacts (18) is arranged in the first receptacle (14). A group (22) of second contacts (18) is arranged in the second receptacle (16). A second portion (80) of the connector is arranged adjacent to the first and second receptacles (14, 16) and includes a recess (70) extending across the first and second receptacles (14, 16) for receiving an insert (24) containing at least one filtering circuit element. The groups (20, 22) of the first and second contacts (18) have extensions (66, 68) extending into the second portion (80) of the connector, the extensions (66, 68) of the first and second contacts are arranged along one wall (88) of the recess (70) for connection to the insert (24). A group (106) of third contacts (96, 98) is provided separate from the groups (20, 22) of the first and second contacts. The group (106) of third contacts is arranged along a different wall (90) of the recess (70) for connection to the insert (24) and for connecting the stacked connector to circuitry external of the stacked connector and the insert (24).
