Patent ID: 6888423

Claim:
A cable TV electronic filter assembly, comprising: a generally cylindrical conductive housing having first and second cable connectors in opposed relation to each other along a longitudinal axis, said housing containing an interior volume; first and second circuit board surfaces, in superposed relation to each other, engaging said filter housing within the interior volume, said first and said second surfaces facing away from each other in opposite directions and being substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; first and second cable TV filter circuits mounted on said first and said second circuit board surfaces, respectively, said first and said second circuits being electrically coupled to each other; a ground plane disposed between said first and said second circuit board surfaces in substantially parallel relation to the longitudinal axis, said ground plane contacting said filter housing within the interior volume such that a common electrical ground is established between said housing and said ground plane; and first and second electrical terminals coupled to said first and said second filter circuits, respectively, said first terminal extending into and being operatively supported inside the first cable connector, and said second terminal extending into and being operatively supported inside the second cable connector.
