A filtered electrical connector with ferrite block combinations and a filter assembly therefor are disclosed. More particularly, the filtered electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least two terminals each having a cable contact area for conductively attaching cables for conducting a signal to be filtered and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The filtered electrical connector also includes a filter assembly which comprises at least two generally cylindrical ferrite bodies positioned on a common axis, the terminals extending into or passing through the filter assembly.

Filtered electrical connector with ferrite block combinations and filter assembly therefor

A filtered electrical connector with ferrite block combinations and a filter assembly is used for filtering of electrical signals. The filtered electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least two terminals each having a cable contact area for conductively attaching cables for conducting a signal to be filtered, and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The filtered electrical connector also includes a filter assembly which comprises at least two generally cylindrical ferrite bodies positioned on a common axis, wherein the terminals extend into or pass through the filter assembly.

An electrical connector with a static discharge feature is disclosed. More particularly, the electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least one terminal in the connector housing, the terminal having a cable contact area for conductively attaching a cable for conducting an electrical signal and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The electrical connector further includes a conductive insert, a portion of which is exposed to the outside and covers an opening formed in the connector housing, said opening being located at a position between the terminal and the conductive insert, thereby forming an air gap between the conductive insert and the terminal.

Electrical connector with static discharge feature

An electrical connector with a cable insulation strain relief feature is disclosed. More particularly, the electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least one terminal in the connector housing, the terminal having a cable contact area for conductively attaching an inner conductor of a cable for conducting an electrical signal and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. One end of the terminal is forked forming two forked portions that are bent by about 90&deg; with respect to the non-forked portion of the terminal. A spacing between the forked portions is smaller than an outer diameter of an insulation of said cable.

Electrical connector with cable insulation strain relief feature

A filtered electrical connector with adjustable performance using combined multi-aperture ferrite cores is disclosed. More particularly, the filtered electrical connector includes a connector housing made of an electrically insulating material, at least two terminals each having a cable contact area for conductively attaching cables for conducting a signal to be filtered and a contacting portion for making contact with a corresponding contacting portion in a complementary mating connector. The filtered electrical connector further includes a filter assembly which in turn includes an electrical conductor for conducting an electrical signal to be filtered and at least two ferrite bodies. Each of the ferrite bodies includes at least two passages therein with the electrical conductor passing through the passages. The respective ends of the electrical connector are connected in series between one of the cable contact areas and an associated contacting portion.
