Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0700128A1] A modular jack (2) has a base assembly (14) and a cap (16) to define a plug receiving region (18) therein for receiving a modular plug (not shown) therein. The base assembly includes a plurality of contacts (20) and a bracket (28) that were originally connected as part of the same lead frame as elongate members (39) and carrier strip (34) respectfully. The lead frame has been overmoulded to form the base assembly (14). The contacts include a solder tine section (22) extending into the receiving region (18), along the periphery thereof through an intermediate portion into a contact arm (26). The contact structure is of simple design and the use of the carrier strip as the bracket eliminates the need for an additional component and the associated assembly step. <MATH>
