Abstract
A filtered electrical header assembly for circuit boards. The assembly includes a housing supporting a plurality of terminals, filter means electrically coupled to the terminals, grounding means coupled to the filter means, and at least one conductive fastener for attaching the grounding means to the housing, for providing a means for mounting the housing to a circuit board, and for providing a grounding path from the grounding means through the at least one fastener to the circuit board. Two embodiments are disclosed: one employing tubular filter elements surrounding conductor pins, another employing a monolithic planar capacitor in contact with conductor pins. The invention permits a filtering capability to be incorporated into a standardized header assembly without affecting standardization.
