Abstract
The following specification describes a connector assembly employing a capacitor assembly having axially spaced radially extending capacitor plates carried by a ceramic or dielectric member. One plurality of plates are connected in common to the connector shell and other radially extending axially spaced plates are connected to respective contacts of the connector to form a filter capacitor for each contact. A conductive elastomer or metal spring engaging one of the common plates under axial pressure ensures a secure electrical ground connection between the plates common to the connector contacts and the shell while a metal spring preassembled to each contact at an axial position coincident with the capacitor assembly exerts a radial outward pressure to ensure an electrical connection to the capacitor plates associated with the respective contact.
