Appl. No.:

8/599610

International Classification:

H04M 100

US Classification:

379442

Abstract:

A modular jack includes a filter circuit for each of the transmit and receive pins in order to shape the signal waveforms, isolate the user from the line, and filter out both common and differential mode noise in high-speed communications systems, such as 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, token ring and ATM applications. The manufacture of the modular jack of the present invention is simplified by the design of the components which make up the modular jack assembly. More specifically, the contact pins of the modular jack are divided into a contact pin array and a mounting pin array. The two pin arrays are electrically coupled through a printed circuit board which carries the two filters. A platform formed on the mounting pin array facilitates the attachment of the printed circuit board during manufacture.

Abstract:

A network jack includes a connector, an outer housing, and a circuit board. The connector receives a plug for conveying Ethernet network signals. The connector includes conductive leads disposed on opposite sides of a central bar. The connector has a connector housing formed in part by a plurality of walls defining an interior, wherein the central bar is disposed in the interior, and spaced part from each of plurality of walls. The outer housing is disposed about and contains the connector housing, and has a width approximately equal to a width of a housing of the plug. The circuit board is disposed within the housing, and supports a plurality of transformers and/or common-mode chokes. The circuit board provides at least a portion of an electrical connection between the conductive leads and the transformers and/or common mode chokes.
