  • Electrical connector with light transmission means
    Patent number: 5885100
    Abstract: A modular jack is adapted for connecting a cable terminated with a plug to a circuit board. The jack includes a housing having a front face with a receptacle for receiving the plug, a rear face and a bottom face adapted for mounting on the circuit board. A light guide is provided on the housing and includes a front end at the front face of the housing and a remote end near the bottom face of the housing for guiding light from a source thereof on the circuit board to the front of the housing.

  • Telephone connector
    Patent number: 5766043
    Abstract: An electrical jack which comprises a front housing, a back housing, and housing insert which are assembled together with electrical leads. A shield fits over the assembly so as to electrically shield it and to ground the unit to a suitable printed circuit board. Ferrite sleeves or a ferrite unit formed as a ferrite block are mounted in the back housing and the leads pass therethrough so as to remove undesired frequencies from the leads and a compact jack is formed.
