Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a housing including a plug-receiving receptacle, a set of mating contacts each having a mating portion extending in the plug-receiving receptacle and a first connecting portion, a set of mounting contacts each having a second connecting portion, an insulative carrier having opposed front and rear walls and a receiving chamber, and a set of magnetic components each having a magnetic core received in the receiving chamber and a number of conductive wires winding therearound. The mating contacts are held by a bottom section of the front wall, and the mounting contacts are held by a bottom section of the rear wall. Each conductive wire has a first end connecting with the first connecting portion of the mating contact and an opposite second end connecting with the second connecting portion of the mounting contact. The electrical distance from the mating contacts to the mother board is reduced.
Abstract:
A modular jack includes an insulative housing, an oblique inner PCB mounted on the insulative housing, a number of mating contacts soldered to the top edge portion of the inner PCB, a number of footer pins soldered to the bottom edge portion of the inner PCB, and a number of POE leads soldered to the top edge portion. The contacts, footer pins, and POE leads are retained on the same piece insulative housing, thus omitting requirement of an insulative carrier and a process of assembling the footer pins and POE leads to the insulative carrier. Each of the contacts, footer pins, and POE leads has a connecting section extending along a same direction in order for the tail sections to be soldered on a same top face of the inner PCB by a one-time soldering process.
