Abstract
A telecommunications adapter for use with a 110-type patch cord, comprising: a printed circuit board; at least two contact blades for making electrical contact with the 110-type patch cord, the blades having a predetermined configuration and being mounted to the primed circuit board; an electrical connection cable connected to the printed circuit board; and a housing structure having an interior cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of the printed circuit board, the housing structure having a connection end for contact with the 110-type patch cord, the connection end having a stabilizing end for the contact blades and a pair of clamps to engage the 110-type patch cord.
Claims13
A telecommunications adapter for use with a 110-type patch cord, comprising:
- (a) a printed circuit board;
- (b) at least two contact blades for making electrical contact with the 110-type patch cord, said blades having a predetermined configuration and being mounted to said printed circuit board;
- (c) electrical connection means connected to said printed circuit board;
- and
- (d) a housing structure having a generally flat, rectilinear configuration with a proximal portion including an interior cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of said printed circuit board, said housing structure further having a connection end for contact with the 110-type patch cord, said connection end having an aperture through which said printed circuit board extends outwardly, means to stabilize said contact blades and means to engage the 110-type patch cord, said means to stabilize comprising a flat member extending from said connection end, having longitudinally oriented rails, and terminating in a lateral rail having at least one stabilization aperture therein for receiving the outwardly extended end of said contact blades.
A telecommunications adapter for use with a 110-type patch cord, comprising:
- (a) a printed circuit board;
- (b) at least two contact blades for making electrical contact with the 110-type patch cord, said blades having a predetermined configuration and being mounted to said printed circuit board, said blades being constructed of approximately 0.020 inch thick Beryllium Copper alloy which is half hardened during formation and heat treated to full hardness after forming, said blades being coated at predetermined portions with 100 micro-inch Nickel underlayment with selective plate 50 micro-inch Gold;
- (c) electrical connection means connected to said printed circuit board;
- and
- (d) a housing structure having an interior cavity enclosing a predetermined portion of said printed circuit board, said housing structure having a connection end for contact with the 110-type patch cord, said connection end having means to stabilize said contact blades and means to engage the 110-type patch cord.
