Patent number: 7985102Abstract: The invention relates to a receptacle for standard connections in industrial information networks, in particular an RJ45 jack for Ethernet-based applications. The receptacle includes a socket which opens against a plug-in direction and a plurality of spring contacts. The spring contacts each form a first inclined lead in surface projecting into the socket in the plug-in direction. To allow a downwardly compatible, vibration-resistant connection, it is proposed according to the invention that the spring contacts each form a further second inclined lead in surface offset in the plug-in direction from the first inclined lead in surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Bert Bergner, Gunter Feldmeier, Werner Boeck
