Abstract
A filtered electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having an array of terminal-receiving passages and at least one mounting post projecting from the housing outside the array of passages. A plurality of terminals are received in the passages and include a plurality of pin portions projecting from the housing in the same direction as the mounting post. A filter block is fit over the pin portions of the terminals. The filter block includes a plurality of pin-receiving holes through which the pin portions of the terminals extend. A mounting hole in the filter block is closely fit about the mounting post projecting from the housing.
Claims16
A filtered electrical connector, comprising:
- a dielectric housing having an array of terminal-receiving passages and at least one mounting post projecting from the housing outside said array of passages;
- a plurality of terminals received in said passages and including a plurality of pin portions projecting from the housing in the same direction as the mounting post;
- a single ferrite filter block fitted over the pin portions of a plurality of the terminals, the filter block including a plurality of pin-receiving holes through which the pin portions of the terminals extend and a mounting hole closely fit about the mounting post projecting from the housing;
- and
- an alignment sheet press fit onto the mounting post over the filter block and including a plurality of pin-receiving holes closely fit about the pin portions of the terminals.
A filtered electrical connector, comprising:
- an elongated dielectric housing having a generally linear array of terminal-receiving passages and a mounting post projecting from the housing at each opposite end of the linear array;
- a plurality of terminals received in said passages and including a plurality of pin portions projecting from the housing in the same direction as the mounting post;
- a single ferrite filter block fitted over the pin portions of a plurality of the terminals, the filter block including a plurality of pin-receiving holes through which the pin portions of the terminals extend and a pair of mounting holes closely fit about the mounting posts projecting from the housing;
- a distal end of each mounting post being expanded over the filter block to hold the block on the mounting posts;
- and
- an alignment sheet press fit onto the mounting posts over the filter block and including a plurality of pin-receiving holes closely fit about the pin portions of the terminals.
