摘要： A multi-port modular jack including an outer housing part, inner housing parts arranged in the outer housing part to define plug-receiving receptacles receivable of mating plugs, and an optional shield surrounding the jack. The outer housing part having a top wall, a bottom wall and a front face having a mid-portion arranged substantially parallel to and between the top and bottom walls. The front face defines a first row of apertures between the mid-portion and the top wall and a second row of apertures between the mid-portion and the bottom wall. Each aperture in the first row has a plane of symmetry offset in relation to a plane of symmetry of each aperture in the second row such that only a portion of each aperture in the first row is directly opposite the opposed apertures in the second row. Vents are formed in the outer housing part to allow for the passage of air through the jack. The inner housing parts are arranged in the outer housing part to define the plug-receiving receptacles in alignment with a respective aperture in the front face of the outer housing part. Each inner housing part includes contact/terminal members for engaging contacts of a plug insertable into a respective plug-receiving receptacle. The contact/terminal members forming one or more wire pairs may be provided with a double cross over to reduce near-end crosstalk.

摘要： An electrical connector assembly adapted to be mounted on a substrate having a ground region including a jack defining a plug-receiving receptacle, at least one contact having a contact portion situated in the receptacle, a shield surrounding at least a portion of the jack and a shorting bar arranged in electrical connection with the contact(s) for discharging static charge from a plug upon its insertion into the receptacle and contact between the plug and the contact(s). The shorting bar is arranged in a channel in an outer housing part of the jack and in engagement with end portions of contacts received in slots in a comb portion of the outer housing part. The shield is adapted to be connected to the ground region of the substrate whereby the shorting bar is electrically connected to the shield. In use, prior to insertion of a mating plug into the receptacle, the end portions of the contacts engage the shorting bar and as the plug is inserted into the receptacle, static charge built up on the cable to which the plug is connected is transmitted through contacts to the shorting bar, from the shorting bar to the shield and from the shield to the ground on the printed circuit board on which the connector assembly is mounted.

摘要： Modular electrical jack including an outer housing part and an inner housing assembly connected to the outer housing part and defining one or more plug-receiving receptacles therewith. The inner housing assembly includes contact/terminal members, at least one of which includes a terminal portion adapted to be connected to a substrate, an arcuate contact portion extending into a respective plug-receiving receptacle and an intermediate bridging portion connecting the terminal portion and the contact portion. The bridging portion is inclined in relation to an inner surface of the outer housing part such that only a very short region of the bridging portion bears against the inner surface of the outer housing part and thus, remaining portions of the bridging portion are spaced from the inner surface. The construction of such contact/terminal members enables the jack to have a height less than that of contact/terminal members in existing jacks of the RJ type while providing the contact/terminal members with sufficient normal contact force to comply with FCC requirements. A communications card such as a PCMCIA card including the jack is also disclosed.
