Abstract: A pin structure of a modular jack has eight resilient pins. The two intermediate resilient pins have two electrically conducting segments vertically spaced apart and are each wide and have two electrically contacting segments transversely spaced apart and are each slender, whereas the other resilient pins are transversely and consecutively spaced apart and disposed on two sides of the two intermediate resilient pins and are each slender. The electrically fixing ends of the first, third, fifth, seventh resilient pins lie in a first straight line. The electrically fixing ends of the second, fourth, sixth, eighth resilient pins lie in a second straight line. The first and second straight lines are spaced apart and lie on the same plane. The resilient pins have V-shaped electrically contacting portions lying in a third straight line. Hence, the pin structure of a modular jack reduces crosstalk and loss and thereby meets strict standards.

Abstract: An RF connector comprises a coupling nut for locking the connector to a mating connector and a locking ring. When tightening the coupling nut, it pushes on the locking ring, which again pushes on a protrusion of the connector, moving the connector into a mating connector. When the coupling nut is tightened, the locking ring acts as a stop to limit the movement coupling nut leaving a gap between the connector and the mating connector. Due to this gap, the connector may be rotated in a locked state.

Energy conversion devices to couple the energy out of the oscillator include a coupling in line with the tensioner and a coupling generally perpendicular to the extension of the tensioner.
