ABSTRACT:
A modular jack assembly with a flexible shorting bar having a first longitudinal insulative strip and a second longitudinal insulative strip. A plurality of insulative spaced parallel transverse strips is interposed between the first and second longitudinal strips forming a plurality of transverse openings between the first and second longitudinal strip. The shorting bar also includes at least one conductive trace having a pair of transverse conductive legs and connecting longitudinal section. Each of the transverse conductive legs is superimposed over a separate one of the transverse strips, and the longitudinal conductive section is superimposed over one of the longitudinal strips. This flexible shorting bar is superimposed over the medial interior wall of the housing such that the transverse strips are each positioned in a separate one of said contact receiving recesses.
