Abstract:
1. A dielectric rod for a filter chassis, the dielectric rod extending between a first end and a second end of the dielectric rod, the dielectric rod comprising: a conductive element placed at the first end, wherein the conductive element is adapted to be in conductive contact with a first contact of the filter chassis; and a second fastening element placed at the second end; wherein the second fastening element is externally threaded for releasably engaging a corresponding internally threaded first fastening element of the filter chassis, to releasably mate the dielectric rod to the filter chassis such that the dielectric rod is replaceable in the filter chassis; wherein the second fastening element comprises a projecting element; wherein a longitudinal axis of the dielectric rod extends through the second fastening element and the conductive element; and wherein the conductive element comprises a second projecting element that is tapered in a direction away from the first end.
