Abstract:
A RJ modular connector, comprising:a housing defining a plug receiving section, and a terminal core receiving section; a terminal core received in said terminal core receiving section and including a plurality of terminals; a first substrate having a first conductive trace thereon, an electrical connection being established between a first terminal of the plurality of terminals and the first conductive trace, a portion of the first conductive trace being arranged to create a first electrical coupling between the first terminal and a second terminal of the plurality of terminals to balance a second electrical coupling between the first terminal and a third terminal of the plurality of terminals arranged between the first and the second terminals; and a second substrate having a second conductive trace thereon, an electrical connection being established between a fourth terminal of the plurality of terminals and the second conductive trace, a portion of the second conductive trace being arranged to create a third electrical coupling between the fourth terminal and a fifth terminal of the plurality of terminals to balance a fourth electrical coupling between the fourth terminal and a sixth terminal of the plurality of terminals arrange between the fourth and the fifth terminals, wherein the terminals each comprise a connecting portion sandwiched between the first and the second substrates, and the connecting portion of the second terminal is located adjacent to and far from the connecting portion of the fourth terminal; wherein the connecting portion of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth terminals are arranged in a common plane; and wherein a portion of each conductive trace is parallel to the connecting portions of the first to sixth terminals; and wherein the second terminal electrically couples with and is located close to the third terminal; and wherein the fifth terminal electrically couples with and is located closed to the sixth terminal; and wherein the first terminal electrically couples with the fourth terminal; and wherein the connector further comprising a seventh terminal and a eight terminal electrically coupling with the seventh terminal; and wherein the seventh terminal is arranged between the eighth and the first terminal and is located far from the first terminal but close eight terminal.
