Enhanced communication connector assembly with crosstalk compensation

An enhanced communications jack connector, comprising:

• a jack housing having a front surface and a plug opening in said front surface, wherein the plug opening has an axis and is formed to receive a mating plug connector;
• and
• a communication connector assembly inserted in said jack housing for making electrical contact with said mating plug connector when the plug connector is inserted along the axis of the plug opening in the jack housing, said connector assembly comprising;
• a wire board supported in the jack housing;
• a number of elongated terminal contact wires each having a base portion supported on the wire board, a free end portion opposite said base portion for electrically contacting a corresponding terminal of the mating plug connector, and a section connecting the free end portion and the base portion with one another;
• the free end portion is configured so that the section of the terminal contact wire deflects by the action of the mating plug connector;
• and
• a first crosstalk compensating device fixed on the wire board, wherein the device is constructed and arranged to engage with the sections of selected terminal contact wires to provide capacitive compensation coupling between the selected terminal contact wires when the sections of the contact wires are deflected by said mating plug connector.
