Abstract
Abstract In a connector with built-in filter having a dielectric housing with recesses at both ends and a partitioning plate positioned therebetween; connector pins penetrating through the partitioning plate into the second recess; and a conductive shield case having a window which corresponds to the second recess, the case having an edge at the window, the improvement comprising a ferrite body, inserted within the second recess, the ferrite body having slots corresponding to the connector pins and notches positioned between the slots and the window edge, the notches being contiguous with the slots; and chip capacitors inserted into the notches of the ferrite body, the capacitors being electrically connected between the edge of the shield case and the connector pins. The ferrite body may be unitary or a combination of ferrite portions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
In a connector with a built-in filter having a dielectric housing, said housing having first and second ends, a first recess being formed at said first end and a second recess being formed at said second end, the first and second recesses having a partitioning plate therebetween; connector pins having first and second ends, said first end positioned within the first recess, said pins penetrating through holes provided within said partitioning plate, and said second end protruding through the second recess; a conductive shield case surrounding said housing, said case having a window which corresponds to said second recess, said case having an edge at said window, said case being positioned so that said connector pins can protrude from the window, the improvement comprising: (a) a ferrite body having slots corresponding to said connector pins and notches positioned between the slots and said edge, the notches being contiguous with the slots, said ferrite body being inserted within the second recess, said second ends of said connector pins protruding through the slots; and (b) chip capacitors inserted into the notches of said ferrite body, said capacitors being electrically connected between said edge of said shield case and said connector pins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
In a connector with a built-in filter having a dielectric housing, said housing having first and second ends, a first recess being formed at said first end and a second recess being formed at said second end, the first and second recesses having a partitioning plate therebetween; connector pins having first and second ends, said first end positioned within the first recess, said pins penetrating through holes provided within said partitioning plate, and said second end protruding through the second recess; a conductive shield case surrounding said housing, said case having a window which corresponds to said second recess, said case having an edge at said window, said case being positioned so that said connector pins can protrude from the window, the improvement comprising: (a) a ferrite body having slots corresponding to said connector pins and notches positioned between the slots and said edge, the notches being contiguous with the slots, said ferrite body being inserted within the second recess, said second ends of said connector pins protruding through the slots; and (b) chip capacitors inserted into the notches of said ferrite body, said capacitors being electrically connected between said edge of said shield case and said connector pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
The connector of claim 1, wherein said ferrite body comprises two ferrite portions, a first portion having slots corresponding to said connector pins and a second portion having notches for said chip capacitors, said two ferrite portions being juxtaposed to allow said pins to protrude from said body through said slots and to retain said chip capacitors between said first ferrite portion and said case edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The connector of claim 1 wherein a seal is inserted in said window to enclose the chip capacitors and ferrite body and to surround a portion of said pins.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
The connector of claim 1 wherein said ferrite body is a first such body and a second ferrite body is included, said second ferrite body having slots corresponding to said connector pins, said second ferrite body being fixedly inserted within the window with said pins extended therethrough and protruding from said second ferrite body, said chip capacitors being sandwiched between said first and second ferrite body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The connector of claim 4, wherein said second ferrite body is a ferrite core.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The connector of claim 4, wherein said second ferrite body is composed of the material of said first ferrite body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The connector of claim 4 wherein said first ferrite body comprises a plurality of ferrite portions which are arranged to provide a plurality of rows of slots for connector pins and a plurality of rows of notches for chip capacitors.
