Low cost filtered and shielded electronic connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• (a) a front retaining means comprising a conductive shell having a peripheral flange and a pin receiving passageway;
• (b) a plurality of conductive pins extending through the passageway of the front retaining means;
• (c) a concave insulative rear retaining means have g a plurality of apertures through which the conductive pins pass;
• (d) a retainer means having a central aperture interposed between said front retaining means and said rear retaining means;
• and
• (e) a capacitive means comprising a printed wiring board having a plurality of central apertures and being interposed between said front retaining means and said rear retaining means so as to receive the pins in said apertures, and said board having a component side oriented toward the rear retaining means and a reverse side oriented toward the front retaining means and fixed to the peripheral flange thereof and a peripheral edge, and on the component side of said board there is a conductive strip adjacent the peripheral edge on said component side, and outwardly adjacent at least some of the central apertures there are conductive bands and a capacitor is positioned between at least some of said conductive bands and the conductive strip adjacent the peripheral edge, and on the reverse side of said board a non-conductive area surrounds at least some of the central apertures and said non-conductive areas are surrounded by conductive areas.
