Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes two mating multiposition electrical connector halves 2, 4 and an insert 10 which is positioned in engagement with the terminals 8 in one of the connector halves. The insert is fabricated from a lead frame 16 which is secured between an insulative substrate 40 and a cover 48. Portions of the lead frame 16 extending into slots 44 and channels 52 on the substrate and cover are punched out to separate connecting tabs 26 from ground buses 18, 20, 22. Surface mount capacitors 38 are soldered to both the solder tab sections 30 on the connecting tabs and to solder contact sections 34 on the ground buses. The insert 10 is then positioned on the terminals 8 on one connector half with the tines 32 in a terminal socket 28 on each connecting tab 26 engaging the terminals 8.
