Abstract

A connector is described wherein some contacts include circuit components, and the contacts can be arranged in a custom pattern by the user. A first group of component contacts (e.g. 22A, Fig. 4) each includes at least one circuit component (60) mounted on the middle of a conductive element (52A), with the contact having a cylindrical conductor (64) of predetermined outside diameter (D). A second group of passive contacts include a feed through contact (22C, Fig. 6) wherein insulation (80) is disposed about the middle of a conductive element and has about the same outside diameter as the component contacts to enable the contacts to be interchanged. The connector includes a ground plane (40, Fig. 3) with holes through which each contact passes, and with fingers at the holes for engaging the outside of each contact. The ground plane can be part of a holder (14, Fig. 3) which includes forward and rearward insulators (90, 92) with one having tabs that project through slots in the ground plane and in the other insulator. An assembly can include two substantially identical connectors (132, 134, Fig. 9) in tandem, with the contacts of each connector connected in tandem with the contacts of the other connector, to provide more complicated and custom designed contact circuitry.
