    (54) Modular connector


    (57) A modular connector includes a jack (20) ha­ving contacts and an insulating housing (22), a modular plug (40) to be fitted in the jack (20) to establish electrical connection therebetween, and shield plates (32,48) respectively covering at least a surface (25) of said jack (20) formed with an opening (24) for fitting the plug (40) and surfaces (49) of the plug (40) in parallel with an inserting direction (50) of the plug (40) into the jack (20) to effect magnetic shielding. The shield plate (32) for said jack (20) is pro­vided with leaf spring pieces (38) on both sides of the contacts. The shield plate (32) for the jack (20) is electrically connected with the shield plate (48) for the plug (40) through the leaf spring pieces (38) when the plug (40) is in­serted into the jack (20). The shield plate (32) for the jack (20) is integrally formed with tabs (33) which are inserted with their elastic defor­mations into apertures (16) formed in a printed circuit substrate (10) to provisionally fix it to the jack (20) when the substrate is loaded in the jack .
