Abstract: A modular jack for interfacing a modular plug with a printed circuit board. The jack has a first outer housing segment and a second outer housing segment with a plurality of contacts embedded within the second segment and having pin portions projecting therefrom about one terminal end and contact portions projecting therefrom about the other terminal end with the contact portions being insertable within the first housing segment to make interface contact and mating with a male plug. The modular jack includes a shield with an electrically conductive compliant member about the edge of the shield to make interface electrical connection with a panel when the modular jack is mounted in place with the compliant member clamped by a plurality of clamps aligned with edges of the shield.

Abstract: A shielded modular adapter adapts one type of connector to another and provides electromagnetic shielding therein in order to reduce radio frequency interference and adjacent signal line interference. The shielded modular adapter may include electromagnetic filters to further reduce electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, the shielded modular adapter is user programmable or selectable by inserting pins into the appropriate holes within a connector and snapping the connector in place.
