Filtered terminal block assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A terminal block assembly comprising:
- a base assembly comprising a terminal block housing comprising a bore and a terminal stud extending through said bore;
a filter assembly comprising a resilient contact element and a filter element coupled to said stud; and
a ground assembly coupled to said base assembly and said filter assembly for dissipating filtered signals;
wherein said resilient contact element is located between said terminal stud and said filter element so as to mechanically isolate said filter element from said terminal stud to prevent structural loading of said filter assembly.

Abstract
A terminal block assembly include a base assembly includes a terminal block housing and a terminal stud extending therethrough, a filter assembly coupled to the stud; and a ground assembly coupled to the base assembly and the filter assembly for dissipating filtered signals. The filter assembly is mechanically isolated from the base assembly and the ground assembly to prevent structural loading of the filter assembly.

12. A method for assembling a terminal block assembly including a base assembly, a filter assembly, and a ground assembly, the base assembly including a terminal block housing having an opening and a terminal stud extending therethrough, the filter assembly including a resilient contact element and a filter element;
- and the ground assembly including a ground plate, said method comprising the steps of;
positioning the resilient contact element over the terminal stud;
positioning the filter element over the resilient contact element and the stud; and
coupling the ground plate to the terminal block housing so that the resilient contact element mechanically isolates the filter element from mechanical stress. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
