Abstract

Abstract A noise filter includes a capacitor having first and second electrodes, first and second terminal legs extending from the first electrode, and third and fourth terminal legs extending from the second electrode. The first and second terminal legs adapted for the path of electric signal, and the third and fourth terminal legs adapted for the path of ground level. The noise filter further includes first and second tubes mounted on the first and second terminal legs, respectively, and third and fourth tubes mounted on the third and fourth terminal legs, respectively. Each of the first, second, third and fourth tubes is made of a magnetic material, whereby high frequency noise signals can be filtered when signals pass through the noise filter.
