Abstract
A modular jack connector includes a housing defining a plug receiving space for receiving a complementary plug connector therein. The housing includes a printed circuit board with a number of first and second terminals mounted thereon. Each first terminal includes a spring arm extending into the plug receiving space. A first noise suppressing device is mounted on the printed circuit board and electrically connecting the first terminals with corresponding second terminals via the printed circuit board. This invention is characterized in that ferrite ceramics are integrally arranged to the second terminals so as to provide an enhanced noise suppressing result.
Claims3
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a complementary connector receiving space;
- a terminal module retained to the housing, said terminal module including a first printed circuit board with a first set of terminals, on a front portion thereof, extending into the complementary connector receiving space;
- a first noise suppression device mounted on the printed circuit board electrically connected to said first set of terminals;
- a second set of terminals extending from the first printed circuit board toward a second printed circuit board on which the housing is seated, and electrically connected to said first set of terminals via said first noise means;
- and
- a second noise suppression device mechanically and electrically coupled with at least one set of said first and second sets of terminals;
- wherein
- said first noise suppression device and said second noise suppression device are aligned with each other in a vertical direction.
