ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electrical connectors and more particularly to modular gang jack connectors.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Developments
The prior art discloses modular gang jacks having a plurality of plug receiving recesses. Heretofore, however, modular gang jacks have not been configured to allow for the positioning of one horizontal row of plugs above a second horizontal row of plugs. There is, therefore, a need for a modular gang jack which allows such positioning of plugs on the edge of a printed wiring board.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the modular gang jack assembly of the present invention the first, the second and third longitudinal horizontal walls are positioned in parallel spaced relation. A plurality of vertical walls are interposed between the first and second longitudinal horizontal walls, and another plurality of vertical walls are interposed between the second and third horizontal longitudinal walls. Parallel rows of plug receiving recesses are consequently formed between the first and second and the second and third longitudinal horizontal walls. One of the longitudinal walls extends transversely beyond the edges of the other two to enable the plugs inserted in one row of the plug receiving recesses to be superimposed over the plugs inserted in the other row of plug receiving recesses. The assembly may be through mounted or surface mounted on a printed circuit board. The assembly may also have longitudinal vertical walls to be vertically mounted on a printed circuit board.
