Abstract
The present invention is a component carrier comprising a plate of insulating material having a plurality of apertures for accepting the leads of a thru-hole differential and common mode filter. Another embodiment comprises a surface mount component carrier comprised of a disk of insulating material having a plurality of apertures. The same concept for the above described carrier is also incorporated into several alternate embodiments, either independently or embedded within electronic connectors, or configured for use with electric motors. The overall configuration and electrical characteristics of the concepts underlying the present inventions are also described as an electrical circuit conditioning assembly which encompasses the combination of differential and common mode filters and component carriers optimized for such filters. The various embodiments of component carriers provide increased physical support and protection to differential and common mode filters and substantially improve the electrical characteristics of the filters due to the increased shielding provided by the carriers.
