  • Modular jack connector meeting 1000base-T specifications
    Patent number: 6431918
    Abstract: A modular jack connector comprises an insulative housing (1) and an insert module (2) received in the insulative housing. The insert module includes an insert (20) having contacts (24) retained therein, a cross talk compensating printed circuit board (21), and a footer (22) having terminals (26) retained therein. Both the contacts and terminals have press-fit eyelet portions (243, 261) for facilitating assembly to the printed circuit board. The contacts of the insert are configured as four differential pairs having a pairing of {circle around (1)}{circle around (2)}-{circle around (3)}{circle around (4)}-{circle around (5)}{circle around (6)}-{circle around (7)}{circle around (8)}, wherein the {circle around (1)}{circle around (2)} and {circle around (3)}{circle around (4)} pairs are used for signal transmission, and the {circle around (5)}{circle around (6)} and {circle around (7)}{circle around (8)} pairs are used for signal reception.
