Between the outer conductor 66 and the inner conductor 60, an insulating part 64 is formed, which holds the inner conductor 60 in the outer conductor 66. At a filter-side end of the inner conductor 60, this has a spring basket 62.
  • the spring basket 62 has in a region of a wave-shaped surface 72 b, which causes a positive connection between the spring cage 62 and the inner conductor 60 and between the spring cage 62 and the insulating member 64 on.
  • the spring cage 62 ensures tolerance compensation and assists in finding the connector by inserting a filter-side pin into the contact tongues of the spring cage 62.
  • the insulating part forms at its filter end a protruding wall to protect the contact tongues.
