ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR EMBODYING ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT COMPONENTS

摘要

An electrical connector containing contacts upon which there are mounted electrical circuit components. A component is mounted on the side of each contact. A ground plate in the connector shell embodies a spring tang for each contact that provides electrical connection between the component and the shell. Matching polarizing surfaces on each contact and the wall of its corresponding contact cavity correctly positions the contact so that the electrical component thereon will be engaged by the spring tang.
