Abstract
An electrical connector filter or transient suppression component structure includes a component body, a first lead adapted to electrically contact a feedthrough contact pin in an electrical connector and a second lead adapted to engage a ground plate. The first lead may be cylindrical to extend all the way around the contact pin, the second lead including a cylindrical termination section which electrically connects the component to the ground plate by engaging an aperture provided in the ground plate. The components are housed in a dielectric insert assembly which, in one embodiment includes pairs of circular openings at one end and rectangular/circular opening pairs at the other end, the component body being inserted into a rectangular opening and the contacts and termination section extending through the circular openings. The second end of the insert may include projections surrounding one circular opening in each of the pairs of circular openings to insulate the contacts from the ground plate, the projections extending through circular openings in the ground plate and the cylindrical termination sections of the ground lead extending through and engaging additional circular openings in the ground plate.
