Abstract
A capacitor array for filter connectors includes a stamped and formed ground resilient metal plate. Integral tines are provided to establish a solderless electrical connection between the plate and a connector shell. The filter elements are discoidal capacitors having cylindrical inner and outer electrode portions. The filter assembly is completed by soldering the outer electrode portions to the ground plate, while a solderless electrical connection between the inner electrodes and the feedthrough contacts of a connector is established by providing compliant sections on the contacts. A pi filter array is formed using two of the ground plates.
