Abstract
An interconnect device and electrical signal filtering connector is disclosed that does not require soldering. The interconnect device is an electrical contact that has a proximate or forward end with a cavity for receiving an electrical conductor of a first plug, and a distal or rear end, also called a tail, formed with a circumferentially-arranged undercut that engages the ends of one or more electrically conducting flanges that extend radially inward in a contact receptacle of a printed circuit board. The connector can be a male plug or female receptacle, including a receptacle with front and rear shells and an insert slidably engaged inside the shells, the receptacle adaptable for receiving a round, 14-conductor plug. The printed circuit board assembly includes a printed circuit board with one or more contact receptacles.
