  • Patent number: 5647767
    Abstract: A modular jack electrical connector assembly 2 suitable for conditioning the signals in unshielded twisted pair wires for use with network components is disclosed. The modular jack 2 comprises a conventional insulative housing 4 and an insert subassembly 6 including an insert molded front insert member 8 and a rear insert member 10. Contact terminals 12 for mating with a modular plug extend from the front insert member 8 and into the rear insert member 10. The rear insert member 10 also includes signal conditioning components such as common mode choke coils 38, filter circuits 40 and transformers 54 suitable for conditioning the twisted pair signals for used in applications such as for input to and output from IEEE 10 Base-T network components.
