  • Patent number: 12142885
    Abstract: A plug insert comprises a plug insert body including at least one contact member accessible from outside the plug insert, at least one insulation displacement contact electrically connected to the contact member, and a guiding assembly. At least one wire manager module includes at least one cable receptacle for receiving and holding a cable or wire. The guiding assembly guides the wire manager module relative to the plug insert body from a pre-assembly position, to an assembly position in which the insulation displacement contact extends into the cable receptacle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9436854
    Abstract: A connector module includes a housing and a conductive lead frame. The housing includes a cover and a base that define a cavity therebetween. The cavity receives a circuit card therein. The base has a top side and a bottom side. The top side faces the cover and defines part of the cavity. Multiple windows extend through the base between the top and bottom sides. The base includes a conductive layer at least partially covered by a non-conductive layer. The conductive lead frame is coupled to the bottom side of the base. The lead frame includes multiple contact beams that extend into the cavity through the windows of the base. The lead frame is electrically isolated from the conductive layer of the base by the non-conductive layer of the base. The lead frame further includes mounting contacts configured to be mounted to conductive components of a circuit board.
