Abstract
Abstract A connector, comprising an elongated body (1) of electrically insulating material, which has at its ends elements (6) for fastening the connector, and which carries several contact elements (2) of electrically conducting material. When assembled, one or more of the contact elements (2) being connected to an electrode (14) of one or more filter elements formed on a substrate (12), another electrode (15) of which is connected to a screen of electrically conducting material partially enclosing the contact elements (2). Said screen comprises a first frame-type cover (16) which is made up of two halves (18) and encloses the contact ends (3) of the contact elements (2), having lips (20) which project in the direction of the connection ends (4) of the contact elements (2), and to which said other electrode (15) of the filter elements is connected. Further, a second frame-type cover (17) partially enclosing the connection ends (4) of the contact elements (2) and to which also said other electrode (15) of the filter elements is connected. Said first (16) and second (17) frame-type covers engaging with each other in a manner such that the substrate (12) with the filter elements is confined between them and a connector optimum screened against interference signals is obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A connector, comprising an elongated body of electrically insulating material, which has at its ends elements for fastening the connector, and which carries several contact elements of electrically conducting material, with a contact end for contacting a further connector and a connection end for the connection of an electrical wiring, one or more of the contact elements being connected to an electrode of one or more filter elements formed on a substrate, another electrode of which is connected to a screen of electrically conducting material partially enclosing the contact elements characterized in that the screen comprises a first frame-type cover which is made up of two halves and encloses the contact ends of the contact elements, having lips which project in the direction of the connection ends and past the contact ends, and to which said other electrode of the filter elements is connected said halves engaging with each other at their ends, a second frame-type cover partially enclosing the connection ends of the contact elements and to which also said other electrode of the filter elements is connected, said first and second frame-type covers engaging with each other in such a way that the substrate with the filter elements is confined between them.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
A connector, comprising an elongated body of electrically insulating material, which has at its ends elements for fastening the connector, and which carries several contact elements of electrically conducting material, with a contact end for contacting a further connector and a connection end for the connection of an electrical wiring, one or more of the contact elements being connected to an electrode of one or more filter elements formed on a substrate, another electrode of which is connected to a screen of electrically conducting material partially enclosing the contact elements characterized in that the screen comprises a first frame-type cover which is made up of two halves and encloses the contact ends of the contact elements, having lips which project in the direction of the connection ends and past the contact ends, and to which said other electrode of the filter elements is connected said halves engaging with each other at their ends, a second frame-type cover partially enclosing the connection ends of the contact elements and to which also said other electrode of the filter elements is connected, said first and second frame-type covers engaging with each other in such a way that the substrate with the filter elements is confined between them.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A connector according to Claim 1, characterized in that the two halves of the first frame-type cover engage with each other by means of a dovetail joint at either end thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A connector according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the elongated body carrying the contact elements has a U-shaped cross section within which the contact ends of the contact elements extend, with a raised edge along the external periphery with slit-type passages for taking the lips of the first frame-type cover.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
85 words
A connector according to Claim 3, characterized in that the lips of the first frame-type cover are bent backwards over distance at their free end and form a first stop situated in the frame opening, while the second frame-type cover is provided with a second stop at one end in the frame opening, the lips of the first frame-type cover extending such a distance within the second frame- type cover that the substrate with the filter elements is confined between said first and second stops.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A connector according to Claim 4, characterized in that the first and second frame-type covers rest against the raised edge of the elongated body carrying the contact elements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
98 words
A connector according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the first and second frame-type covers are of such dimensions that the elements for fastening the connector are accessible from the outside, said elements being made bar-shaped, with a bore in the lengthwise direction at at least one end, for fastening the connector with a screw connection, and with at least one projection, extending parallel to the contact ends and having a further bore in the lengthwise direction, which is accessible from the free end thereof, for fastening the connector with a screw connection.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
A connector according to Claim 6, characterized in that the bar-shaped element situated at the one end is provided with one projection arranged in or near the centre thereof, and the bar-shaped element situated at the other end is provided with a projection on either side of the periphery of the elongated body.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A connector according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the respective electrodes of the filter elements are connected by means of soldering to the connection ends of the contact elements and the first and second frame-type cover.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
A connector according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that at the side where the connection ends project outwards the second frame-type cover is sealed with a sealant to prevent moisture from penetrating into the connector.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
A connector according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the contact elements of the connector are contact pins with a rectangular cross section.
