Abstract: A stacked jack modular jack assembly is comprised of a multi-port housing, and a plurality of modular jack subassemblies. The jack subassemblies include upper and lower jack housings sandwiching therebetween, a cross-talk shield. The terminal subassembly is substantially Z-shaped, which allows for increased space there below for signal conditioning components. The terminal module also includes a center shield and a lower shield, and an outer shield, all of which are commoned together and grounded. An outer shield substantially surrounds the entire assembly, and is commoned to the other shield members.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is shown which includes both full shielding and signal conditioning. The assembly includes a front housing portion in the form of a modular jack, and a rear housing portion which forms a recessed area or “well” for receiving the components for signal conditioning. The components are mounted on a printed circuit board, and placed in the recessed area. The housings are aligned and locked together.

Abstract: A stacked jack modular jack assembly is comprised of a multi-port housing. The housing includes LEDs for each port to monitor the condition of the signals. The upper port LEDs are mounted on LED modules, which are aligned with the housing. These modules also form the housing side walls for the receipt and alignment for jack subassemblies. The jack subassembly modules are pluggable into the multi-port housing to provide for the connector interface.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing (30,60,80,100) and a contact insert (41,61,81,101) that includes contacts (43,63,83,103) carried by a molding (42,62,82,102). A lock member (50,70,90,105) cooperates with the housing to secure the contact insert in the housing and to bias the molding against a wall of the housing. In one embodiment, the lock member (50) has a head (52) that is interference fitted in a stall (48) in the housing, and the lock member has a tail (54) that is arranged to urge the molding toward the head. In another embodiment, the lock member (60,80) is wedged between the molding and a portion of the housing. The lock member has a main portion, and nose portions (76,92) that project from the main portion, and the nose portions engage the molding. In another embodiment, the lock member (105) includes a protrusion of the molding that is interference fitted in an aperture (106) in the housing.

Abstract: A lighting device (50, 60) includes a pair of illuminating members (42, 62) arranged side-by-side. The illuminating members have separate anodes (44, 64), and a common cathode (46, 66) that is shared by the illuminating members. In one embodiment, the common cathode (66) has the same cross-sectional shape as each of the anodes (64). In another embodiment, the common cathode includes a pair of individual cathodes (46) that are soldered together. The lighting device is mountable in an electrical connector housing such that the pair of illuminating members is associated with a pair of adjacent electrical receptacles in the housing.
