Abstract
Abstract A filter connector incorporates a capacitor formed in the connector with dielectric material consisting of discrete particles maintained in electrical contact with the live and ground electrodes. Since the dielectric material is handled in non-rigid bulk form, no breakage is encountered during assembly and handling. Disassembly of the connector for repair is feasible. Both method and apparatus are described.
