  • Patent number: 7338327
    Abstract: A coupling with two sleeves facing in opposite directions for the plugs of two shielded data cables that are to be connected to each other is in particular configured as an RJ 45 coupling. A printed circuit board (10) carries a contact assembly for each of the sleeves and connects the corresponding contacts (12) with each other. Two partial shells (14) made of an electrically insulating material envelop and hold the printed circuit board (10). An electrically conductive housing (40) is essentially U-shaped, with its longitudinal axis extending in the plug-in direction of the sleeves. The partial shells (14), together with the printed circuit board (10) they envelop, are insertable in the housing (40) as modules and can be attached firmly in the housing (40). An electrically conductive sheet metal cover (60) covers the modules on the open side of the housing (40) and engages with molded contacting prongs (62) in the sleeves for the purpose of contacting the shields of the plugs inserted into the sleeves.

  • Publication number: 20080000078
    Abstract: For purposes of assembling contact pins (12) disposed in a row onto a circuit board (16), the pins (12) are grasped via a force fit in an insulating body (20) at their ends facing away from the circuit board (16)and are supported to prevent tilting. The body (20) has a suction surface (26) for an automated assembly device. After insertion of the pins (12) into the circuit board (16) and after the soldering process, the body (20) is pulled off the pins (12), so that they sit freely in the circuit board (16).
