ABSTRACT:
A jack for modular plug connectors designed for connection to a printed circuit board includes a housing formed of three parts which when interfitted define a receptacle for receiving a modular plug connector which terminates a multi-conductor cord. A plurality of jack contacts are held through the interfitting relationship of the various housing parts in a manner such that the jack contacts are entirely enclosed within the housing except for the projecting portions thereof which are adapted to be inserted into the printed circuit board. The plug receiving receptacle is partially defined by a surface adapted to provide a backing support for the jack contact portions engaged by the contact terminals of the modular plug connector. According to one embodiment, one of the jack housing parts which substantially surrounds the longitudinal extent of the modular plug connector when the latter is inserted into the plug receiving cavity is formed of a material which is electrically conductive and which provides good electromagnetic and radio frequency radiation shielding. In use, a cord shield terminating contact of the modular plug connector may contact one or both of the conductive housing part and a grounded jack contact to ground any electrostatic charge in the cord shield to prevent electrical arcing.
