A FILTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

A filter electrical connector (90) comprises an electrically conductive shell (91); a dielectrc body (93) mounted to the shell, the body intersecting a row of contact receiving passages (95) with a row of capacitor receiving cavities (99) with each passage receiving a contact (97) and extending through the body in a direction transverse to that of its associated cavity; a monolithic chip-type capacitor (80) disposed in a selected cavity and in electrical contact with the contact in the associated passage; and a bias member (100) of electrically conductive material electrically coupling each electrical contact and its associated capacitor to the shell. One bias member embodiment comprises a separate one-piece comb-like member (100) including a plurality of spring tines (104, 106) that extend from a common flange (102) with each spring tine contacting only a single capacitor (80). Further, a bias member (110) provides means for grounding the shell (91) when mated with a complementary connector shell (92).
