Abstract:
A high performance connector assembly comprising:a first member comprising a jack and a second member comprising a plug, each of said members having the high performance mode, and being adapted to mate with each other to form the high performance connector;each of said first and second members having a circuit member mounted thereto in fixed position;each of said first and second members having at least one conductive lead therein for electrically contacting at least one lead in the other one of said members, each of said leads being movable into contact with one of said circuit members for altering the performance mode of said first and second members and actuator members for moving said leads into electrical contact with each circuit members; andeach one of said first and second member for preventing said actuator members from moving said conductive lead in said first and second members into electrical contact with said circuit member in each of said members for maintaining each of said first and second members in the high performance mode when said members are mated.
