Abstract
The present invention discloses a filtered cable harness connector assembly 10 including a multiterminal connector 12 having at least one row of terminals 18 therein terminated to conductors 28 of a cable 26, at least one filter subassembly 30 secured to the conductors 28 rearward of the multiterminal connector 12 and means covering the connector 12 and subassembly 30. The cable conductors are arranged in at least one planar array 29 and extend rearwardly from the connector 12 in a given lateral spacing. One filter subassembly 30 is associated with each at least one array of conductors. The subassembly 30 has plurality of contact members 32, a purality of filter members 58, means 50 housing the contact members 32 and filter members 58, and bus means 46. The plurality of contact members 32 have first and second contact portions 34, 40, the first contact portions 34 extending from a conductor proximate surface 52 of the housing means 50 and are appropriately spaced and adapted to become electrically connected with respective ones of the conductors 28 of the at least one array 29. The housing means 50 includes a plurality of filter receiving apertures 54 along a selected face thereof, and have the second contact portions 40 paired with third contact portions 44 and are exposed along respective bottom aperture surfaces. Filter member 58 are disposed in respective ones of the apertures and are electrically joined to respective pairs of said second and third contact portions 40, 44. Bus means extends from and commons third contact portions 44 and includes at least one ground engageable portion 48.
