Application No. 08/480,964
Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on appeal,
and reads:
A filter connector arrangement
comprising:
a ferrite barrel having a bore therein,
the bore having an axis therethrough, and
an electrical connector disposed in said
bore, said electrical connector having an
axis therethrough and a substantially
rectangular cross sectional configuration in
a plane perpendicular to the axis of the
connector;
wherein the improvement comprises:
the cross sectional configuration of the
bore through the barrel in a plane
perpendicular to the axis thereof is
substantially rectangular and said bore
accepts said electrical connector therein so
as to provide improved mating alignment of
said electrical connector with a mating
structure within said bore and to provide a
substantial increase in both differential and
common mode inductances over a filter
connector arrangement comprising said
electrical connector and a ferrite barrel
having a cylindrical bore for accepting said
electrical connector.
