Abstract:
An insulative housing for use in a modular jack assembly comprising first, second and third longitudinal walls positioned such that said second longitudinal wall is superimposed over said first longitudinal wall in spaced parallel relation and said third longitudinal wall is superimposed over said second longitudinal wall in spaced parallel relation and a first pair of spaced lateral walls is interposed between the first and second longitudinal walls in perpendicular relation to said first and second longitudinal walls to form a first transverse plug receiving cavity and a second pair of spaced lateral walls is interposed between the second and third longitudinal walls in perpendicular relation to said second and third longitudinal walls to form a second transverse plug receiving aperture, and a first medial wall extending from the first longitudinal wall into the first transverse plug receiving cavity and said first medial wall having a first distal side which is in spaced relation from the second longitudinal wall, and a second medial wall extending from the second longitudinal wall into the second transverse plug receiving cavity and said second medial wall having a second distal side which is in spaced relation from the third longitudinal wall, and wherein the walls in the first pair of spaced lateral walls are misaligned from the walls in the second pair of spaced lateral walls.
