Abstract
Abstract This invention includes a filtered header electrical connector including a connector body having a reduced mass underlying a surface-mounted chip capacitor. The reduced connector body mass underneath the chip capacitor is achieved by side cores or recesses formed in the wall of the connector so that the chip capacitor sits on an outwardly extending lip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A filtered electrical header connector comprising: a connector body comprising a pin retaining portion having a plurality of holes therethrough each for receiving a connector pin, a shelf connected along one side to the pin retainer portion and extending therefrom, and wherein the shelf has a thickness less than the thickness of the pin retainer portion, said connector body having a metal plating overlying selected portions thereof; a terminal pin extending through each of said holes, a chip capacitor soldered to a pad of metal plating overlying said shelf, said chip capacitor electrically connected to one of said pin terminals and to another portion of the metal plating on said connector; each of said terminal pins having a portion surrounded by a ferrite block, and wherein said shelf and pin retaining portion define a recess underlying said shelf and chip capacitor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A filtered electrical header connector comprising: a connector body comprising a pin retaining portion having a plurality of holes therethrough each for receiving a connector pin, a shelf connected along one side to the pin retainer portion and extending therefrom, and wherein the shelf has a thickness less than the thickness of the pin retainer portion, said connector body having a metal plating overlying selected portions thereof; a terminal pin extending through each of said holes, a chip capacitor soldered to a pad of metal plating overlying said shelf, said chip capacitor electrically connected to one of said pin terminals and to another portion of the metal plating on said connector; each of said terminal pins having a portion surrounded by a ferrite block, and wherein said shelf and pin retaining portion define a recess underlying said shelf and chip capacitor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A filtered electrical header connector as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a skirt connected to a second side of said shelf and extending downward therefrom.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A filtered electrical header connector as set forth in claim 2 wherein said skirt, shelf and pin retaining portion define an enclosed recess that does not extend through the skirt.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
A filtered electrical header connector as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a skirt connected to selected portions of a second side of said shelf and extending downward therefrom, said skirt being constructed and arranged to define said recess extending from an outer surface of said skirt and under said chip capacitor.
