Patent ID: 8410867

Claim:
Filter for filtration of electromagnetic interference: comprising: a base element with at least at least two electrical filter components, with at least two input terminal contacts and at least two output terminal contacts for connection of conductors of an electric line, the input terminal contacts being connected to the output terminal contacts by way of conductor paths which are located on the base element, wherein, in each of two of the conductor paths, there are at least two longitudinal contacts, via which at least one of the filter components is electrically connectable to the respective conductor path such that the electrical connection of the conductor path leads between the two longitudinal contacts by way of the respective filter component, and wherein the each of the conductor paths has at least one cross contact so that two conductor paths are electrically connected to one another by way of another one of the filter components when the another one of the filter components is electrically connected to the cross contacts of two of the conductor paths, wherein, between the at least two longitudinal contacts of each conductor path, there is a direct electrically conductive connection when a filter component is not connected to the two longitudinal contacts which is interrupted when a filter component is connected.
