A filtered connector is mounted on a casing and includes a connection port and a filter board. An electrode plate mounted on one end of the connection port and electrically isolated from the casing is securely mounted through a through hole of the casing. The filter board has a circuit board assembly, multiple grounding spring plates and multiple filtering capacitors. The circuit board assembly has a slot to be mounted through by the electrode plate. The grounding spring plates are mounted on a surface of the circuit board assembly and electrically contact the casing. The filtering capacitors are electrically connected between the electrode plate and the grounding spring plates. As the filter board is not mounted inside the connection port, only the filter board is to be mounted without replacing the connection port, thereby lowering users' expense in installation of the filter board.

An plug connector for electrical and mechanical connection to a mating plug connector has an outer conductor contact element and an inner conductor contact element. The inner conductor contact element has an inner-conductor-side contact region and the outer conductor contact element has an outer-conductor-side contact region. An inner-conductor-side contact plane is spanned by contact points of the inner-conductor-side contact region to contact a corresponding contact point of an inner conductor mating contact element. An outer-conductor-side contact plane is defined by contact points to contact a corresponding contact point of an outer conductor mating contact element. The inner-conductor-side contact plane and the outer-conductor-side contact plane are spaced apart in such a way that, in a plugged state of the plug connector and the mating plug connector, compensation of an electrical signal reflected in the inner-conductor-side contact plane by an electrical signal reflected in outer-conductor-side contact plane is attainable.
