The substrate 20 is shaped such that mechanical engagement between parts 25 of the substrate 20 which are to engage mechanically with the first and second resilient contact elements, respectively, and respective resilient contact elements is completed at different insertion depths of the board into the telecommunication module.
Abstract:
A termination strip (1) for a telecommunications system comprises two opposed rows of contacts (13) along a first side (9) of the strip and two opposed rows of contacts (13) along an opposed second side (10) of the strip, a mounting mechanism (15) at each end of the strip by which the strip can be removably-mounted on a carrier (3) with the contacts on the first side accessible for connecting wires therewith. The termination strip also comprises wire-guiding elements (24, 29) on the exterior of the strip shaped to permit wires (30) connected to contacts on the first side to be held at one end, at least, of the strip thereby enabling the strip to be removed from the carrier, rotated about a central axis extending between the ends of the strip, and repositioned on the carrier with the contacts on the second side accessible for connecting wires therewith.

Abstract:
A wire guide plate (10) for guiding at least one wire (12, 14) to a front side thereof comprises at least one first wire guide (16) formed on a first surface (18) of the wire guide plate (10), and at least one through opening (20) is formed in the vicinity of the first wire guide (16) so as to guide a wire (12) which is guided by the first wire guide (16) to a second surface of the wire guide plate (10) opposite of the first surface (18).
Abstract:
A termination strip (1) for a telecommunications module comprising at least one pair of contact elements (50) arranged side-by-side, each terminating in contacts (13) on opposed longitudinal sides (9, 10) of the strip for connection to a wire pair of a telecommunications cable. Each contact element comprises: (i) two end regions (52) that terminate in contacts on respective longitudinal sides of the termination strip and are substantially aligned with one another along the longitudinal axis of the contact element, and (ii) a narrower central region (51) between the end regions, located substantially on one side of the longitudinal axis. One of the end regions comprises a resilient contact region (53) extending from the end region substantially on the other side of the longitudinal axis and engageable by an external component inserted into the termination strip from one of the opposed longitudinal sides. The contact elements are substantially identical but turned through 180° relative to one another with the narrower central regions adjacent one another.
