Patent ID: 7744419

Claim:
Appliance connector device, comprising: an A plug contact, a B plug contact and a G plug contact; an A′ terminal, a B′ terminal and a G′ terminal; an electrically conducting filter jacket having an inside, a cross-sectional plane and a contact surface for establishing a ground connection; and a filter module having at least one conducting surface, said filter module including: an A″ conductor for connecting the A′ terminal to the A plug contact; a B″ conductor for connecting the B′ terminal to the B plug contact; and a G″ conductor for connecting the G′ terminal to the G plug contact, said G″ conductor of the filter module including a shielding plate, said shielding plate having: at least one edge, a circumference, an inside, two sides and a plurality of contact fingers on the edge along most of its circumference, the contact fingers being in contact with the filter jacket on the inside under elastic tension; said shielding plate extending in the cross-sectional plane of the filter jacket; wherein the filter module has capacitance elements on both sides of the shielding plate with the at least one conducting surface aligned parallel to the shielding plate to create capacitances between the A″ conductor and the B″ conductor and between A″ conductor, the B″ conductor and the G″ conductor.
