Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly comprising:an RJ-45 modular jack, said RJ-45 modular jack including a front surface having an opening for receiving a corresponding modular plug, said RJ-45 modular jack having a first plurality of electrical fingers arranged in a spring bias fashion within said opening for making electrical contact with said modular plug, said RJ-45 modular jack with space for at least eight fingers and including a series of first slots along a back surface of said RJ-45 modular jack, said electrical fingers extending to the back surface of said RJ-45 modular jack and terminating in a reverse bent fashion to form first clip portions within respective first slots,a second plurality of electrical fingers, one end of said second fingers terminating in second clip portions in reverse bent fashion in a second series of slots along said back surface of said RJ-45 modular jack, an other end of said second fingers terminating as electrical pins extending out of a bottom portion of said RJ-45 modular jack,an isolation module for interconnecting with the back surface of said RJ-45 modular jack, said isolation module including a top, side walls and end walls, a plurality of pairs of electrical extending contacts extending from a bottom of said side walls and extending below a bottom of said isolation module for connection to the first and second clip portions of the RJ-45 modular jack, an isolation/noise control component contained within said isolation module, said isolation/noise control component electrically connected to one end of said extending contacts, another end of each of said extending contacts insertable within a respective one of the first and second clip portions of said fingers within the slots of said RJ-45 modular jack to form an interconnection between said pairs of first and second clip portions of said RJ-45 modular jack and said electrical contacts extending below said bottom of said isolation module, said isolation/noise control component forming an electrical path between respective fingers of each of said first plurality of electrical fingers and each of said second plurality of electrical fingers.
