Abstract:
A modular jack connector comprisinga dielectric connector housing,a plurality of contacts mounted in said connector housing for engaging contacts of a mateable connector when said mateable connector is inserted into a receptacle defined by said connector housing,a plurality of external terminals for establishing an external electrical connection to said modular jack type connector,a subassembly for a dc current isolation of the engaging contacts from said external terminals, anda filtering device,wherein the improvement comprises an element which is substantially completely insertable into said connector housing,which insertable element holds both, said engaging contacts and said external terminals,which insertable element accommodates said subassembly for a dc current isolation and said filtering device;said subassembly for a dc current isolation and the filtering device comprises inductances having coils with ferrite ring cores, the longitudinal axes of which are aligned in parallel and are laterally offset from each other; andsaid inductances accommodated within the dielectric housing of said insertable elements are each connected to a section of the external terminals which sections project into said dielectric housing, andto a section of said engaging contacts which sections project said dielectric housing.
