Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (10) has a drawn solderable insert (42) received in a mounting aperture (28) of an electrical connector housing (12) and secured therein by a shell (30). The insert (42) has an internally threaded (52) hollow tubular shank (44). Flange means (46) on the insert (42) are received in a recess (54) in either a shell means or the housing (12) and cooperates therewith to prevent the insert (42) from rotating. The flange means (46) are thicker than the depth of the recess (54) to assure electrical continuity between the insert (42) and the shell (30). In a first embodiment, the shank (44) extends beyond the connector housing (12) to a closed end (50) that may be tapered. An alternate embodiment insert (42') has an open end. Yet another alternate embodiment insert (42") has spring means (74,76) that cooperate with insert receiving aperture (60) to secure connector assembly (10) to printed circuit board (62). A further alternate embodiment insert has a spacer means (102) thereon.

Abstract: A filtered shielded connector assembly is comprised of an insulating housing member having one or more connector receiving cavities therein, a plurality of pin terminals, filtering means and shielding means. The shielding means is comprised of two metal members, a front face plate and a shell, said plate and shell being dimensioned to surround said housing member. One end of each terminal extends through apertures in the housing and into the connector receiving cavities, the second end of each terminal extends rearwardly from the housing, through the filtering means and through the shielding shell.

Abstract: A solderless filtered connector is formed by a first housing of insulative material defining a plurality of filter passages, with resilient tines at least at one end of each passage. The first housing is plated with a conductive material to form a ground plane. Each filtered terminal is formed by a pin terminal having a compliant portion which engages an inner conductive surface of a respective filter sleeve, a filter locating shoulder and oppositely directed mating ends. Each filtered terminal is mounted in a respective passage with the tines making a resilient contact with the outer conductive surface of the filter. The connector can also include a second housing and front insert to enclose the filtered terminals and a metal shell for mating purposes.

Abstract: A solderless filtered connector is formed by a first insulative housing which is selectively plated with conductive material and is profiled to receive therein a second insulative housing carrying a plurality of filtered terminals in a spaced array. Ground is established by a multi-apertured grounding member which receives the respective filter sleeves therein and is profiled to make wiping engagement with the plated portion of the first housing. A metal shell secured to the first housing defines a mating face for the connector and completes the ground path. Each terminal has a compliant intermediate portion which is received in the bore of a respective filter sleeve to make solderless engagement therewith.
