Abstract:
In an electrical connector comprising a housing, electrical contacts connected to the housing, and a ferrite block located in the housing, the contacts each having a first connection area for electrical connection to a mating contact and a second connection area for connection to an electrical conductor, wherein the improvement comprises:the ferrite block is a one-piece member surrounding a portion of at least one of the electrical contacts at a location between the first and second connection areas, wherein the portion of the at least one electrical contact has a flat shape, wherein the ferrite block comprises a flat rectangular channel, wherein the flat shaped portion is located in the flat rectangular channel, wherein the ferrite block is spaced from the first and second connection areas, wherein the ferrite block and the flat shaped portion extend away from the first connection area at a general right angle, wherein the at least one electrical contact comprises an area between the first connection area and the portion having a general hump shape forming a space for receiving an end of the first connection area, and wherein the end of the first connection area extends upward past a bottom of the ferrite block.
