ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an input module, and more particularly to the input module having two separate seats each provided with a resilient leg set. The two seats are opposite to each other and combined with each other to form a module. With the modularized input module, the assembly speed is increased and test for defects can be performed during the assembly.
2. Description of Related Art
Connectors such as RJ45, RJ11, Rj12 are often used in the computers for connection with the INTERNET. Although these connectors function to transfer signals, certain factors such as cross-talk and other interference may have to be taken into consideration to avoid damage to the quality of signal. In most cases, the common method to avoid interference and cross-talk is to add in passive elements such as a resistor or inductor to the transfer of the connector. However, the addition of the passive elements adds complexity to the structure of the connector. Besides, tests for defects of the connector can not be performed until the entire assembly process of the connector is finished. Therefore, there is no way for the operator to find out and amend connection defects of the connector during assembly, which is quite a waste.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an improved modulated connector to mitigate and obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved modulated input module having two identical seats each being opposite to and combined with one another to form a module such that the assembly speed is able to be increased.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved modulated input module enabling the operator to perform connection tests during the assembly of the input module so that defective modules can be eliminated before the completion of the connector.
