  • Terminal block with shoulder contact and formed ground plate retained by plastic insert
    Patent number: 6884119
    Abstract: A connector has a plastic housing (10) with a plurality of cavities or holes (13) for accepting “chips” (3), i.e., electrical elements such as transient suppression diodes, capacitors, metal oxide varisters, spark gap devices, and so on, connected between the a contact (20) and ground for RFI or EMI suppression or the like. The contacts have shoulders with chip-contacting areas (23), preferably one surface of an annular flange (21). This allows numerous cavities to be arrayed around the axis of the contact (which can be radially symmetrical) so that numerous chips can be put in parallel between the contact and ground. In the case of capacitor chips, for example, this allows increasing the capacitance or varying the capacitance from one contact to the next.
