ABSTRACT:
A modular jack assembly includes a housing having a front portion which includes a plurality of openings into a plurality of plug receiving chambers. The housing further has a rear bay which includes openings into the plug receiving chambers. A backplate sub-assembly includes a plurality of contact pin arrays mounted thereto and a grounding shield. Each of the pin arrays is formed of a unitary insulative member in the shape of an L and includes a plurality of embedded contact pins. The backplate sub-assembly further includes an L-shaped elongate backplate member having perforations formed through one of the legs of the L. The perforations receive pins protruding from mounting ends of the pin arrays. Additional perforations are provided to receive ground pins formed in the grounding shield. The backplate sub-assembly is received in the rear bay so that plug contacting portions of the pin arrays extend into the plug receiving chambers. In a preferred embodiment, the jack assembly is arranged to have two rows of jacks and the grounding shield is positioned between the two rows.
