Filtered universal serial bus

Claim 1

A receptacle adapted to be mounted on a printed wiring board (PWB) comprising: (a) an insulative member comprising a first vertical section extending from a base to an upper side and a second section extending perpendicularly from said vertical section to a terminal edge, and said second section having a plurality of longitudinal grooves; (b) a plurality of conductive contact means extending first parallel to the second section of the insulative contact in the longitudinal grooves and then parallel to the first section of the insulative member; (c) a conductive shielding means having a first side superimposed in spaced relation over the second section of the insulative member and a second side positioned in spaced relation beneath the second section of the insulative member and opposed spaced lateral sides connecting said first and second sides to form a plug receiving cavity between the second side and the second section of the insulative member and a rear side extending perpendicularly from the first side in spaced relation from the first section of the insulative member; (d) a filtering means interposed between the first section of the insulating means and the rear side of the shielding means; and (e) resilient ground spring means which extends from the conductive shielding means to make electrical contact with the filtering means, wherein the filtering means is a capacitive means, and the capacitive means has a plurality of apertures and one of the conductive contact means extends through each of said aperatures, and a peripheral conductive ring surrounds each of the apertures in the capacitive means, and each of the conductive rings surrounding the apertures is soldered to the conductive contact passing through the aperature, and there is a ground plane electrode attached on the capacitive means and each of the conductive rings are electrically connected to the ground plane electrode.
