Abstract: A monolithic capacitor array (18) is disclosed which may be suitable for incorporation into a multi-way electrical connector and comprises a dielectric body (20)with a set of through-going cavities (22) for receiving respective connector pins. The cavities are associated with respective capacitors (30, 32) each formed by a first and a second set of capacitor plates (38, 40, 44, 46) interleaved within the dielectric body. The first set of capacitor plates is connectable to ground through a contact (42) at the body's exterior. The second set of capacitor plates is interconnected by metallization of the interior of a connection cavity (62) formed in the dielectric body, the connection-cavity being separately formed form its associated pin-receiving cavity and the metallization therein being contactable from the body's exterior to enable connection of a pin received in the pin-receiving cavity to the second capacitor plates of the associated capacitor.

Abstract: An LED package having a generally tubular electrically conductive body, a circuit board which is mounted across the body at or adjacent one end thereof and which has an outer face on which an LED is mounted, an end contact exposed at the end of the body remote from the circuit board and located relative to the body by means of an insulating cap mounted across the body. An electrical conductor extends from the end contact through the cap, through the interior of the body and through the circuit board to connect the end contact to one of the anode and the cathode of the LED. An electrically conductive path is formed on the circuit board to connect the other of the anode and the cathode of the LED to the body such that the body serves as a second contact enabling current to be supplied to the LED.
