Abstract
A VGA filter connector includes a plurality of capacitor chips electrically connected between signal contacts and a grounding spring located in the connector. One of the connector contacts is a ground contact, and the grounding spring includes a ground tail electrically connected to the ground contact in order to provide a path for transients which extends from the signal contacts to the ground contact via the capacitor chips.
Claims12
An electrical connector, comprising:
- at least two electrical contacts;
- an electrically conductive member;
- and
- an electrical component electrically connected between the conductive member and a first of the two electrical contacts,
- wherein said conductive member includes a tail electrically connected to a second of the two electrical contacts, and
- wherein each of said two electrical contacts is adapted at one end to mate with corresponding contacts on a complementary connector and adapted at a second end to engage a grounding member in an electrical device, said tail being electrically connected to the second contact at a point between said two ends.
