Abstract: A filtered electrical connector has a die cast aluminum housing that is mounted to a printed circuit board for attaching wiring harnesses to the printed circuit board for transmitting electrical signals to and from the circuitry of the printed circuit board. The die cast housing has six compartments that have a socket on the bottom of the housing for receiving the end connector of one of the wiring harnesses. A plastic retainer that holds several contact pins is secured in the lower portion of each compartment. A plated plastic filter insert having an anistropic substrate and surface mounted capacitors is encapsulated in an enlarged upper portion of each compartment. The contact pins extend through the filter insert and a ferrite block that is embedded above the filter insert. The ferrite block is covered by an insulation sheet to avoid short circuits in the printed circuit board and protect against bent pins.

Abstract: A bussplate for an electronic device includes a plate having a plurality of integral electrical ground interfaces for commonizing electrical ground current within the electronic device. The plate grounds filter inserts that filter the electronic device from electronic noise and shields the electronic device from electromagnetic interference.

Abstract: An electrical connector system including a first and second connector housing wherein the first connector housing made from a die cast metal. The first connector housing includes a base portion having a plurality of through holes formed therein and a shroud extending from the base portion and surrounding the plurality of through holes. The shroud forming a socket to receive projections extending from the second connector housing in the mating direction of the connector housings, and wherein the first connector housing is connected to an electronic device having a plurality of electrical terminal pins extending through the through holes for engaging female terminals carried in the projections of the second connector housing.
