ABSTRACT:
A telephone jack assembly having a modular unitary housing, and jack field comprising a plurality of jack assemblies. Each jack assembly includes a plurality of jack contacts for engaging and receiving a telephone plug in a plurality of positions, wherein the jack contacts are retained by a unitary housing formed to maintain the jack contacts in physical alignment for electrical contact to the plugs when fully seated. The unitary housing includes recesses therein to accurately retain the jack contacts in precise height, width and depth positions relative to the plugs inserted therein, replacing the numerous elements and spacers heretofore used in a telephone jack assembly. The individual jack assemblies are then connected to external wiring connecting blocks by flexible printed circuits having constant impedance path pairs, which replace the individually hand-wired twisted-pair construction previously used.
