Abstract
An RJ modular connector (1) includes a housing (10) defining a terminal insert receiving space (12). A terminal insert (20) is received in the terminal insert receiving space (12) and includes a substrate (3) having a plurality of conductive traces (30a-30d) and a plurality of terminals (21-28). One trace (30a) of the plurality of traces is aligned with only a selected terminal (21) attached on the second face (32) of the substrate while extends over a parallel terminal (22) and is electrically connected to another selected terminal (23) thereby establishing electrical coupling between said two selected terminals by said trace.
Claims23
A RJ modular connector, comprising:
- a housing defining a plug receiving section, and a terminal insert receiving section;
- a terminal insert received in the terminal insert receiving section, the terminal insert being configured by a substrate and a plurality of signal terminals attached to the substrate, the substrate having a plurality of traces on a first surface thereof and a plurality of solder pads on a second surface thereof with the terminals correspondingly attached thereto;
- and
- wherein one trace of the plurality of traces is aligned with a selected terminal and electrically connects another selected terminal whereby electrical coupling is established between these two selected terminals by said trace.
