Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector assembly having a plurality of permanently mounted filter contacts therein for eliminating undesired high frequency currents and a second plurality of removable electrical contacts mateable with a respective filter contact. This combination provides an air-tight filter connector assembly having removable contacts so that incoming wires may be soldered or crimped thereto, thereby avoiding any damage to the filter contact during the connection of the incoming wires to the connector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
253 words
An electrical connector comprising: a tubular housing; a first elongated electrical conductor having an electrical contact portion at each end thereof and having mounted integral thereon means for attenuating electrical signals of predetermined frequencies; means for fixedly mounting said first electrical conductor within said tubular housing so that one end of said first electrical conductor is accessible for contact from one end of said housing; a second elongated electrical conductor having a wire receiving end accessible from the other end of said housing and an opposite end in contact with the other end of said first electrical conductor; and means for releasably mounting said second electrical connector within said tubular housing including: a first electrically nonconducting member mounted within said tubular housing, said first member comprised of a resiliently deformable material and having a passage therethrough the inner wall of which is in pressure contact with a wire attached to said second electrical conductor; a second electrically nonconducting member mounted within said tubular housing and adjacent said first member, said second member having a passage therethrough aligned with the passage of said first member and comprised of a rigid nonconducting material; and means for releasably retaining said second electrical contact, said means disposed in said passage in said second member; whereby said second electrical conductor may be released from said tubular housing so that a wire may be soldered or crimped to said wire receiving end of said contact while said second electrical conductor is separated from contact with said first electrical conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
An electrical connector as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for fixedly mounting said first electrical conductor includes: a conducting member comprised of an electrically conducting material and having a passage through which said first electrical conductor is disposed, said conducting member having one portion soldered to said first electrical conductor and another portion soldered to said tubular housing so that said first electrical conductor is immovably mounted within said tubular housing and electrically connected to said housing.
