Claim:
1. A connector assembly comprising: a connector housing comprising a plurality of recesses each adapted to receive at least a portion of a modular plug having a plurality of conductors disposed thereon; a plurality of sets of conductors disposed at least partly within respective ones of the plurality of recesses and adapted to interface electrically with respective ones of the plurality of conductors disposed on the modular plug; and a removable insert structure comprising a plurality of termination grooves having respective conductive ends of one or more wire wound electronic components disposed substantially in the plurality of termination grooves, the conductive ends being held within the plurality of termination grooves via the securing of a substrate adjacent the plurality of termination grooves to the removable insert structure, the plurality of the sets of conductors being configured to interface electrically with the substrate; wherein at least a portion of the plurality of termination grooves has a conductive terminal disposed therein, the respective conductive ends of the one or more wire wound electronic components being disposed between the conductive terminal and the substrate; and wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of half-moon shaped vias disposed on an edge of the substrate, respective ones of the plurality of half-moon shaped vias being configured to receive at least a portion of the conductive ends of the one or more wire wound electronic components.
