ABSTRACT:
A shunting system for a modular jack type connector which includes a dielectric housing defining a plug receiving cavity open at one end of the housing. A plurality of terminals are mounted in the housing, with contact portions disposed in a single row. A pair of programmable shunts substantially identically stamped and differently formed from sheet metal material are provided for engagement with the contact portions when the two shunts are mounted in different positions on the housing. Selected different ones of the contact fingers of each shunt are removed so that the remaining contact fingers engage only selected ones of the contact portions.
