Abstract:
A connector assembly comprising:a connector housing comprising a connector having: a recess adapted to receive at least a portion of a modular plug, said modular plug having a plurality of terminals disposed thereon; at least one substrate having at least one electrically conductive pathway associated therewith; a cavity adapted to receive at least a portion of said at least one substrate; a plurality of first conductors disposed at least partly within said recess, said first conductors being configured to form an electrical contact with respective ones of said terminals when said modular plug is received within said recess, and form an electrical pathway between said first conductors and said at least one substrate; and a plurality of second conductors, at least one of said second conductors being in electrical communication with said at least one electrically conductive pathway of said at least one substrate; wherein at least a portion of said first conductors are substantially coplanar and each include an effectively curved portion, the effective radius of each said effectively curved portion being different for each of said first conductors.
