Abstract
Disclosed is a filtered modular jack assembly having an outer insulative housing with open front and end sides. A ferrite element with vertical conductive wires is positioned adjacent the rear end, and a elongated insulative insert is superimposed over the ferrite element. The insulative insert is fixed to the housing, and the conductive wire extend vertically from the ferrite element over the upper side of the insert to its terminal end and then bend downwardly and rearwardly to rest on the top surface of an interior medial wall in the housing. A method of assembling a jack with a noise filtering capability is also disclosed.
Claims30
A filtered modular jack assembly comprising:
- (a) an outer insulative housing having top and bottom walls and opposed lateral walls all defining an interior section and said housing also having front and rear open ends;
- (b) a ferrite element having top and bottom ends and being positioned adjacent the rear end of the outer insulative housing;
- (c) an insulative insert having base and upper sides and rear and terminal ends and being positioned so that its base side is superimposed over the upper end of the ferrite element and its upper end is adjacent a top side of the insulative housing such that its terminal end extends into the interior section of the insulative housing;
- (d) conductive means extending vertically from the bottom end to the top end of the ferrite element and then from the base side to the upper side of the insulative insert and then generally horizontally to the terminal end of the insulative insert and then downwardly and rearwardly toward the rear end of the insulative housing;
- and
- (e) means for fixing the insulative insert to the insulative housing.
A method of assembling in a modular jack having an outer insulative top and bottom walls and opposed lateral walls all defining an interior section and said housing also having front and rear open ends, comprising the steps of:
- (a) positioning a ferrite element having top and bottom ends and front and rear sides adjacent the rear end of the outer insulative housing;
- (b) positioning an elongated insulative insert having base and upper sides and rear and terminal ends so that its base side is superimposed over the upper end of the ferrite element and its upper end is adjacent the top side of the insulative housing such that its terminal end extends into the interior section of the insulative housing;
- (c) providing conductive means extending vertically from the bottom end to the top end of the ferrite element and then from the base side to the upper side of the insulative insert and then generally horizontally to the terminal end of the insulative insert and then downwardly and rearwardly toward the rear end of the insulative housing;
- and
- (d) fixing the insulative insert to the insulative housing.
An electrical connector comprising:
- (a) an outer insulative housing having top and bottom walls and opposed lateral walls all defining an interior section and said housing also having front and rear open ends;
- (b) a ferrite element having top and bottom ends and being positioned adjacent the rear end of the outer insulative housing;
- (c) an insulative insert having base and upper sides and rear and terminal ends and being positioned so that its base side is superimposed over the upper end of the ferrite element and its upper end is adjacent the top side of the insulative housing such that its terminal end extends into the interior section of the insulative housing;
- (d) conductive means extending vertically from the bottom end to the top end of the ferrite element and then from the base side to the upper side of the insulative insert and then generally horizontally to the terminal end of the insulative insert and then downwardly and rearwardly toward the rear end of the insulative housing;
- and
- (e) means for fixing the insulative insert to the insulative housing.
