Assignee:

Pulse Engineering, Inc - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H01R 24/00

US Classification:

439676, 43962006, 43962015, 4395405

Abstract:

An advanced modular plug connector assembly incorporating an insert assembly disposed in the rear portion of the connector housing. In one embodiment, the connector has a plurality of ports in multi-row configuration, and the insert assembly includes a substrate adapted to receive one or more electronic components such as choke coils, transformers, or other signal conditioning elements or magnetics. The substrate also interfaces with the conductors of two modular ports of the connector, and is removable from the housing such that an insert assembly of a different electronics or terminal configuration can be substituted therefor. In this fashion, the connector can be configured to a plurality of different standards (e. g. , Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100). In yet another embodiment, the connector assembly comprises a plurality of light sources (e. g.
