Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector for the telecommunication and data technique comprising RJ contacts disposed in a housing and insulation displacement contacts and contact strips connecting the latter. The object of the present invention, namely to improve an electrical plug connector of the type referred to hereinbefore such that its electrical parameters are substantially improved and satisfy the requirements for the transmission of high data rates, is achieved by that the contact strips are multiply and differently angled between the RJ contacts and the insulation displacement contacts, and are at least in the contact tongue area, in part not guided in one plane parallely to each other.

Abstract: An RF screened plug-in connector comprises a plug (14, FIG. 2A) and a socket connector device (44) that includes a socket (15) and a circuit board (16). The plug is on the end of a screened cable (3), the screen of which is internally connected to a conductive surface (9) of the plug. The socket has a body (18) which is open to provide access to conductive tracks (17) on the circuit board (16). The body has an internal conductive surface portion (21a) which is pressed into intimate contact with a conductive surface portion (9a) on the plug, by virtue of the reaction between resilient contact fingers (12) on the plug pressing on the tracks (17) on the board. The socket body (18) is held in contact with the board (16) by latches (20, FIG. 2C) which also have conductive surfaces and which contact a conductive layer (42) on the underside of the board.

Abstract: A PTC adaptor for a pluggable data connector socket comprises an insulating housing (1) including a plug region (6) for insertion into the pluggable data connector socket, a socket region (16) including a plug receiving cavity (21) in which a pluggable data connector may be received, and a cord receiving region including a cavity (9) in which a plurality of insulated conductors may be received. The housing further includes a plurality of electrical contacts (24), each contact comprising a plug portion (26) extending into the plug region (6) for making an electrical connection with the pluggable data connector socket, a socket portion (28) extending into the plug receiving cavity (21), and a terminating portion (27) extending into the cord receiving cavity (9) for penetrating the insulating covering of the insulated conductors to make an electrical connection with the conductors therein.
