Abstract

See full text

A filter adapter (2) uses back to back multiposition plug and receptacle or male and female electrical connectors (4, 6) each of which has terminals (10, 12) mounted in an insulative housing (12, 14). Filter components, such as surface mount capacitors (18), are positioned between terminals (10, 12) and a ground bus (20) located between the two back to back connectors (4, 6). Each terminal has a resilient plate (30) located at its end, and the plates resiliently engage the capacitors to urge them against the ground bus. Each terminal includes insulation displacement slots (32, 34), and wire segments are inserted into these slots to connect corresponding terminals and to secure the capacitors in place. One of these slots (32) is located in the resilient plate (30), and insertion of the wire shortens the resilient beam length of the portion of the plate engaging the capacitor to increase the force on the capacitor.
