ABSTRACT:
A modular plug electrical connector includes a dielectric housing which holds a plurality of terminals, a cavity which is open to the terminals, and a circuit board which is mountable in the cavity. The circuit board has an edge and an array of contact pads along the edge. Each of the terminals has a groove. The grooves are aligned to receive the edge of the circuit board and are dimensioned such that the terminals engage the contact pads within the grooves when the board is mounted in the cavity.
In an alternate embodiment a modular plug electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating end, a plurality of slots which are open at the mating end, a cavity which is open to the slots, and a circuit board which is mountable in the cavity. The circuit board has an edge and a plurality of terminals along the edge. The terminals are installed in the housing as a unit with the circuit board and are exposed in the slots for engagement by terminals of a mating modular jack when the circuit board is mounted in the cavity.
