ABSTRACT:
A standard miniature modular connector or plug includes insulaton-piercing contact terminals for terminating a plurality of insulated conductors contained within the housing of the plug. A thin, flexible substrate is positioned within the plug and includes at least one conductive path positioned thereon adjacent to one or more of the insulated conductors. The conductive path is positioned so that at least one of the contact terminals pierces a segment of the path on the substrate to provide an electrical connection thereto. The conductive path or segments may be arranged in any desired fashion, for example, to provide an auxiliary, internal circuit path between two of the contact terminals and/or two of the insulated conductors. Two or more individual multi-conductor cables may be terminated in the same plug whereby the conductive path on the substrate may serve as an electrical interconnection between the respective conductors in the two cables. The arrangement may also be utilized to provide a convenient connection between a ground wire and a shielded conductor. In another embodiment, an electrical or electronic component, such as a resistor or an integrated circuit, may be disposed in the conductive path to provide signal modification functions.
