Abstract
Abstract A filter connector comprising a housing made of insulating material, an earth plate fitted to the housing, which earth plate has an engaging portion to be engaged with a circuit board, and a signal transmitting pin fitted to the housing, which pin has a filter element electrically connected with the earth plate. The earth plate is connected directly with a ground conductor on the circuit board, and the engaging portion prevents the connector from separating from the circuit board.
