Abstract: In a multipole plastic connector housing, the capacitors used for interference-suppression are arranged so positionally secured that they do not change their position when the connector housing is injection molded. The capacitors are electroconductively connected to contact insertion parts, and the capacitors and the contact insertion parts are inserted as preassembled parts into a clip part, which is inserted into an injection mold and is subsequently embedded at the same time when the connector housing is injection molded. The connector housing is intended for use in a transistor ignition system for motor vehicles.
