Abstract
Abstract A filter connector (8) for attenuating frequencies up to 1000 MHz having a conductive housing (10) enclosing a filter element (16) with a ground plane (24, 26) on each side of the filter element (16). Conductive pins (18) are mounted on the filter element. The pins pass through holes (30) in each ground plane without touching the ground planes.
