Abstract
The electrical connector comprises a housing having contact receiving passages with contacts disposed therein. Recesses are disposed along a mounting face of the connector and are defined by walls therealong. The recesses are in communication with the contact receiving passages. A rigid ground bar is disposed along sidewalls of the housing. Chip capacitors are positioned in the recesses to have one electrode electrically connected with the contact and the other electrode to be electrically connected with the ground bar. The chip capacitor provides a low impedance pathway for EMI from the contact to the ground.
