ABSTRACT:
An improved modular jack for directly coupling a modular plug to a printed circuit board. The jack features a separable cap member for retaining the conductors in the housing, a spring contact portion that extends from the rear to the front of the jack housing and includes in one embodiment a substantially linear, lower surface that greatly increases the contact area with the modular plug's contact terminal. The design of the jack's conductors, and their placement in the housing, virtually eliminates failure due to overstress, increases and optimizes the signal transfer surface area, and achieves uniform contact resistance regardless of the depth of insertion of the plug into the jack. In an alternate, bifurcated embodiment, the likelihood of vibration-triggered open circuits is substantially reduced.
