Abstract: An electronic coupler for a microtelephone set (14, 31) for the coupling of an amplifier (2) in a telephone line (33a) to an operating position in a telephonist-operated switchboard with automatic call distributor comprises a coupling circuit (1) with a field-effect transistor which is coupled in parallel across the amplifier (2) in such a manner that, when the supply current (E+) is coupled to the amplifier (2), it has great impedance against incoming A.C. signals in the audio frequency range, for example a ringing signal, whereby the line (29a, 29b) is connected to the telephone cartridge (14) via the amplifier (2), and also that the coupler (1) has low impedance against incoming A.C. signals when the supply current (E+) is not coupled to the amplifier (2), so that the line (29a, 29b) is coupled (37) around the amplifier (2) and connected directly to the telephone cartridge (14).
