Abstract
An electrical connector for terminating a plurality of line wires of communications cable which comprises a dielectric housing; a terminal insert, a contact subassembly and a wire fixture, and a polarisation circuit fully covered by the wire fixture it is in a closed or working position.
Claims21
An electrical connector for terminating a plurality of line wires of a communications cable, which comprises a dielectric housing;
- a terminal insert, a contact subassembly and a wire fixture;
- wherein the terminal insert includes a printed circuit board providing electrical tracks connecting between a contact subassembly and corresponding terminals, wherein the printed circuit board is configured to receive an electrical circuit including one or more discrete circuit elements positioned within the housing of the electrical connector, the one or more discrete circuit elements connected across a pair of wires included in the contact subassembly.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a connector housing having a receptacle portion sized to receive a plug;
- a circuit board including a plurality of terminals and corresponding locations to which insulation displacement contacts are mounted, the circuit board including a plurality of tracks each electrically connecting a different one of the plurality of terminals to a corresponding location, the circuit board further including a polarization circuit electrically connected between two tracks and including a switching element electrically connected in series with a resistor;
- a contact subassembly including a plurality of insulation displacement contacts mountable to the corresponding locations;
- and
- a wire fixture pivotally attached to the housing and movable between open and closed positions, wherein the wire fixture is positioned to at least partially cover the circuit board in the closed position.
