ABSTRACT:
A selectable compatibility electrical connector assembly for use in a high performance communication connection has a plug and a jack which mate together in the high performance mode. The plug has a printed wiring board (PWB) therein which is movable in longitudinal translation. The PWB has, on a surface thereof printed circuitry for altering the electrical characteristics and a plurality of conductive leads in contact with the surface. The PWB has a first position where the leads are in contact with the circuitry and a second position where they contact no circuitry. The jack has members therein which engage the PWB and move it from the first position to the second position when the plug is inserted into the jack, and which return the PWB to the first position when the plug is removed from the jack.
