ABSTRACT:
An electrical termination connector includes a substrate mounted to an insulating housing where the substrate includes conductive paths at a front edge of the substrate interconnected to electrical traces deposited on an upper and lower surface of the substrate. The electrical traces are electrically interconnected to electronic passive devices such as resistors and capacitors to simulate an impedance load to a mateable electrical connector. The assembled substrate and housing are shielded by a front shield member having a shroud surrounding the conductive paths and by upper and lower clam shell shield members which are latched in place to the front shield member. An outer insulating housing is overmolded over the assembled shielded connector to encapsulate the upper and lower shield within the outer insulating housing. As assembled, the electrical termination connector is mateable with a complementary shielded electrical connector in a local area network to simulate the impedance of a peripheral device when the peripheral device is disconnected from the local area network. In this manner, reflection of the data signals back of the network line are prevented.
