Abstract:

A filtered electrical connector has a die cast aluminum housing that is mounted to a printed circuit board for attaching wiring harnesses to the printed circuit board for transmitting electrical signals to and from the circuitry of the printed circuit board. The die cast housing has six compartments that have a socket on the bottom of the housing for receiving the end connector of one of the wiring harnesses. A plastic retainer that holds several contact pins is secured in the lower portion of each compartment. A plated plastic filter insert having an anistropic substrate and surface mounted capacitors is encapsulated in an enlarged upper portion of each compartment. The contact pins extend through the filter insert and a ferrite block that is embedded above the filter insert. The ferrite block is covered by an insulation sheet to avoid short circuits in the printed circuit board and protect against bent pins.

Abstract:

This invention includes a filtered header electrical connector including a connector body having a reduced mass underlying a surface-mounted chip capacitor. The reduced connector body mass underneath the chip capacitor is achieved by side cores or recesses formed in the wall of the connector so that the chip capacitor sits on an outwardly extending lip.
