Abstract: Disclosed is a plastic strip for use in the manufacture of unshrouded insulative housings for electrical connectors. The strip is comprised of an elongated body having a first and a second end and adjacent the first end there is a cavity for receiving a polymeric molding compound. This cavity allows the strip to be attached end to end a second subsequently formed axially aligned plastic strip to allow for the continuous manufacture of such strips. The strip also includes a plurality of axially spaced apertures for receiving pins or other conductive elements.

Abstract: A filter connector has a ferrite barrel with a rectangular bore therethrough. The configuration of the bore closely matches the substantially rectangular cross sectional configuration of an electrical connector received within the bore. The connector has a pair of wings upstanding from a base thereof. A single gate or a cooperating pair of gates is(are) attached to one or both of the wings. When folded the gate(s) close the bore through the barrel.

Abstract: A shunt connector provides for electrical connection of a pair of adjacent terminal pins inserted into a housing. A spring contact having a convex bowed body portion extends into a cavity in the housing where the pins are inserted. The terminal pins are inserted into the housing along an axis which is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the spring contact. The spring contact is resilient such that the body engages the terminal pins and pressure engagement is maintained between the spring body and the pins which ensures that a proper electrical connection is made. The spring contact comprises a conducting material such that the pins are shorted upon contacting the spring.
