ABSTRACT:
A modular jack connector has an anti-mismating element for preventing incorrect insertion of smaller sized plug connectors. The modular jack connector includes all insulating housing, an insulating terminal seat disposed in the insulating housing, a plurality of contacts disposed in the insulating terminal seat, and two metal anti-mismating elements. One end of each anti-mismating element is fixed to the insulating terminal seat, and the other end is bifurcated with an inner bifurcation bent downward and vertically to form a stopper and an outer bifurcation extending forward and downward to form an inclined guide. The distance between the two stoppers of the two anti-mismating elements is smaller than that between the two inclined guides and equals the width of the smaller sized plug connector. A smaller sized plug connector cannot contact the inclined guides and are blocked by two stoppers to avoid incorrect insertion while it is inserted.
