Abstract

Abstract A connector unit, which comprises an insulating housing carrying a plurality of connection pins planted therethrough and accommodating a dielectric plate formed with through-holes penetrated by the connection pins and provided on both sides with electrodes. Thus, a capacitor is connected between each connection pin and earth, so that the connector unit is capable of preventing external interference waves from being introduced through the connection pins into the electric apparatus and also preventing spurious waves generated within the electric apparatus from radiation to the outside through the connection pins.
