ABSTRACT:
A compact electrical connector is formed from a metallic lead frame and a spring block. The lead frame comprises a number of flat elongated conductors, each terminating in a spring contact at one end and in an insulation-displacing connector at the other. The insulation-displacing connectors are folded around opposite side walls of the spring block to achieve compactness, and the spring contacts are folded around its front surface for insertion into a modular jack. The front surface of the spring block includes a tongue-like projection which fits into one end of a jack frame and interlocks therewith. A dielectric cover surrounds the spring block and lead frame assembly to assist in supporting the lead frame and electrically insulating it from external. Together, the spring block and jack frame comprise a standard modular jack of the type specified in the FCC Registration Rules. Up to six (6) such modular jacks can be mounted onto a single wall plate having conventional dimensions.
