  • Publication number: 20040132322
    Abstract: An electronic package and filtered electrical connector assembly includes number of connector pins extending away from a main circuit board having a first ground plane, and an auxiliary circuit board having a second ground plane is positioned over the main circuit board with the connector pins extending therethrough and electrically connected to a corresponding number of capacitors mounted to the auxiliary circuit board. An inductive block and surrounding conductive spacer block are positioned between the main and auxiliary circuit boards with the connector pins extending through the inductive block and with the conductive spacer block electrically contacting the first and second ground planes. A connector shroud surrounds the connector pins extending through auxiliary circuit board, and all components are bonded together via an overmolding process to form the electronic package.
