Abstract:
A connector having a connector housing and an electric conductive path passing through the connector housing, a magnetic element in the connector housing and surrounding a portion of the electric conductive path, the magnetic element having an outer surface and opposed end surfaces,wherein the magnetic element is formed with at least one fixing hole, andwherein the connector housing is formed by insert molding around the magnetic element, such that the connector housing defines a unitary matrix of non-conductive material that forms a magnetic element receptacle, portions of the unitary matrix of non-conductive material that define the magnetic element receptacle substantially surrounding and engaging at least the outer surface of the magnetic element and substantially exposing one of said end surfaces of the magnetic element to the outside, the unitary matrix of non-conductive material further defining at least one holding member extending unitarily through the fixing hole for fixing the magnetic element in the magnetic element receptacle of the connector housing.
