Patent ID: 7670183

Claim:
A modular jack connector, comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating interface and a receiving space; a printed circuit board disposed within the receiving space, and having first and second ends, first and second conductive pads arranged at the first end, and third and fourth conductive pads arranged at the second end; first, second and third magnetic rings disposed on the printed circuit board, and the first and third magnetic rings configuring a first pair, and the second and third magnetic rings configuring a second pair; a first conductive wires extending from the first conductive pad and winding through the first and third magnetic rings, and then to the third conductive pad; and a second conductive wires extending from the second conductive pad and winding through the second and third magnetic rings, and then to the fourth conductive pad, a first grounding wire and a second grounding wire, and wherein the first grounding wire winds around the first ring and defines a lead connected to the third pad, and the second grounding wire winds around the second ring and defines a second lead connected to the fourth pad arranged at the second end; wherein said first conductive wires and the second conductive wires respectively wind around the first and third magnetic rings in a same direction.
