Abstract
Abstract An adapter including an insulating, three shouldered adapter having a filter device disposed in a channel formed therein. When inserted between a RF-type cable connector and a panel mounted receiving connector, the adapter effectively isolates the shell of the connector from the panel and insures that all ground currents must pass through the filtering device. The configuration of the shoulders allows the adapter to be used with all standard cable connectors designed for panel mounting.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
An adaptor for filtering signals between an electrical connector and a panel mounted receiving connector of an external device, said adaptor comprising an insulating gasket for isolating said electrical connector from said receiving connector, said insulating gasket being provided with a non-insulated gap therethrough and a filtering means disposed in said gap contacting both said electrical connector and said receiving connector, all ground currents between said electrical connector and said receiving panel being passed solely through said filter means, said gasket comprising at least three shoulders of differing diameters, an outer shoulder adapted to fit into an annular ring formed in said electrical connector, a middle shoulder having a diameter at least as great as that of said electrical connector and being adapted to be maintained in a position between said electrical connector and the panel, and an inner ring adapted to extend through a mounting hole provided in said panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
An adaptor for filtering signals between an electrical connector and a panel mounted receiving connector of an external device, said adaptor comprising an insulating gasket for isolating said electrical connector from said receiving connector, said insulating gasket being provided with a non-insulated gap therethrough and a filtering means disposed in said gap contacting both said electrical connector and said receiving connector, all ground currents between said electrical connector and said receiving panel being passed solely through said filter means, said gasket comprising at least three shoulders of differing diameters, an outer shoulder adapted to fit into an annular ring formed in said electrical connector, a middle shoulder having a diameter at least as great as that of said electrical connector and being adapted to be maintained in a position between said electrical connector and the panel, and an inner ring adapted to extend through a mounting hole provided in said panel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
