ABSTRACT:
Improved modular interface connectors and connector assemblies incorporating such connectors are disclosed for interconnecting telephones and telephone signal equipment. The modular connectors of the invention include improved mounting structures which permit each connector to be slidably mounted on a support member in at least two alternate orientations and to be retained at any position between two spaced shoulders of the support member. In addition, the modular connector is preferably an integrally molded plastic unit configured to permit its fabrication in a single-action mold. In one embodiment, the interface connector further includes a removable comb member which separates and aligns the active portions of the connector contact elements and prevents access through the entrance aperture of the connector to the free ends of the contact elements. In another embodiment, the interface connector includes an integral comb structure and embossments disposed on the connector housing for engaging and mounting at least one bus bar member to the housing adjacent the comb structure. A connector assembly incorporating the improved interface connector of the invention is also disclosed for interconnecting at least one first multi-conductor cable engaged to at least one remote signal station, such as an individual telephone unit, to a plurality of conductors which are electrically coupled to a central signal processing system, such as telephone signal equipment.
