Abstract
A circuit board mounted electrical connector includes a main housing, a secondary housing containing transformer and/or filter components, means for securing the main housing to the secondary housing, and terminal structures for connecting the windings of the transformer and/or filter components to the connector mating contacts and to each other. The mating contacts and the terminal structures may be mounted together on a base module, on an extension of the secondary housing, or separately on the base and on an extension of the secondary housing, while the transformer and/or filter components can be mounted in the secondary housing in a variety of orientations.
Claims20
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an electrical connector housing having an opening arranged to receive a mating connector;
- a mating contact positioned within said housing and including a front section that extends into said opening, said front section of said mating contact being arranged to engage a corresponding contact of the mating connector received in said opening;
- at least one core structure positioned within said housing and having a winding,
- wherein said housing includes a base to which a discrete first electrical terminal is fixed,
- wherein said winding of said core structure is electrically connected to said discrete first electrical terminal, and
- wherein said discrete first electrical terminal is also electrically connected to said mating contact,
- whereby said winding is electrically connected to said mating contact via said discrete first electrical terminal without the need for inclusion of a printed circuit board in said electrical connector housing.
