Patent ID: 8650750

Claim:
Process for assembling a data cable connector module comprising the steps of: manufacturing a fixation element connected to a data cable by: removing of a cable mantle to expose insulated conductors of a data cable; insertion of the insulated conductors into conductor sockets with insulation-displacement connector (IDC) openings; insertion of bent ends of insulation-displacement connectors (IDCs) into the IDC openings of the conductor sockets so that each of the bent ends of the IDCs cuts each of the insulation of the insulated conductors and contacts each of the conductor of the insulated conductors; pushing IDC sockets over free ends of the IDCs; providing a shield with outer shield elements between the IDC sockets; inserting the fixation element assembly formed of IDCs, conductor sockets, IDC sockets, and conductors produced by the preceding steps into a fixation element housing; and manufacturing of a contact module by: preparing bent slide contacts with connection ends and slide contact areas; insertion of the bent slide contacts into an insulation socket; connection of at least one circuit board to the connection ends of the slide contacts; connecting module plug-in contacts to the at least one circuit board by establishing an electrically conductive connection between the slide contacts and the module plug-in contacts by the circuit board; insertion of plugs in at least one end insulation socket and insertion of the module assembly produced by the preceding steps in a contact module housing.
