Abstract
A telecommunications adapter for connecting a modular connector to the mating end of a telecommunications interface adapter comprises a modular connection structure; a printed circuit board having exposed electrical contacts disposed within the plane of the printed circuit board which are electrically connected to the modular connection structure; and a housing structure having a central cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of the printed circuit board, the housing structure further having a plug end for mating contact with the telecommunications interface terminal and which has an aperture through which the electrical contacts of the printed circuit board outwardly extend for electrical connection with the telecommunications interface terminal.

A telecommunications adapter for connecting a modular connector to the mating end of a telecommunications interface terminal, comprising:
- a. modular connection means;
- b. a printed circuit board having exposed electrical contact disposed within the plane of the printed circuit board which are electrically connected to said modular connection means;
- and
- c. a housing structure having a central cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of said printed circuit board, said housing structure further having a plug end for mating contact with the telecommunications interface terminal and which comprises an aperture through which said electrical contacts of said printed circuit board outwardly extend for electrical connection with the telecommunications interface terminal, said plug end further comprising a distal face adjacent said housing interior cavity and on which said plug end aperture is disposed, and a plurality of elongated mating prongs extending longitudinally outwardly from said distal face and arranged in two spacially parallel rows separated a predetermined distance, said plug end aperture being oriented spacially parallel and centered between said two prong rows.
A telecommunications adapter for connecting a modular connector to the mating end of a 110-T type telecommunications interface terminal, comprising:
- a. modular connection means;
- b. a printed circuit board having exposed electrical contacts disposed within the plane of the printed circuit board which are electrically connected to said modular connection manes;
- and
- c. a housing structure having a central cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of said printed circuit board, said housing structure further having a plug end for mating contact with the telecommunications interface terminal and which comprises an aperture through which said electrical contact means of said printed circuit board outwardly extend for electrical connection with the telecommunications interface terminal for isolation purposes, a distal face adjacent said housing interior cavity and on which said plug end aperture is disposed, and a plurality of elongated mating prongs extending longitudinally outwardly from said distal face and arranged in two spacially parallel rows separated a predetermined distance, said plug end aperture being oriented spacially parallel and centered between said two prong rows, said housing structure further having vertical and horizontal axis, and wherein said housing structure is a bifurcated structure with first and second fused halves divided primarily along said vertical axis.
A telecommunications adapter for connecting a modular connector to the mating end of a 110-T type telecommunications interface terminal, comprising:
- a. a cord having a plurality of individual conductors and further having a modular plug connected to said cord conductors;
- b. a printed circuit board having exposed electrical contacts disposed within the plane of the printed circuit board which are electrically connected to said cord conductors;
- and
- c. a housing structure having a central cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of said printed circuit board, said housing structure further having a plug end for mating contact with the telecommunications interface terminal and which comprises an aperture through which said electrical contact means of said printed circuit board outwardly extend for electrical connection with the telecommunications interface terminal, a distal face adjacent said housing interior cavity and on which said plug end aperture is disposed, and a plurality of elongated mating prongs extending longitudinally outwardly from said distal face and arranged in two spacially parallel rows separated a predetermined distance, said plug end aperture being oriented spacially parallel and centered between said two prong rows, said housing structure further having vertical and horizontal axis, and wherein said housing structure is a bifurcated structure with first and second fused halves divided primarily along said vertical axis.
