COMMUNICATION CONNECTOR

摘要

The present invention generally relates to communication connectors and internal components thereof. In one embodiment, the present invention is a communication jack comprising hack rotated plug interface contacts having variable cross-sectional widths. In another embodiment, the present invention is a communication jack having back-rotated plug interface contacts where at least two of the plug interface contacts have a differing beam length. In yet another embodiment, the present invention is a communication jack having back-rotated plug interface contacts where at least two of the plug interface contacts have opposing bends in a deflection zone.

主权项

1. A plug interface contact (PIC) for use in an RJ45-compatible communication jack having a printed circuit board (PCB), said PIC comprising:
a first end; a second end, at least a portion of at least one of said first end. and said second end being electrically and mechanically connected to said PCB; and an intermediate region positioned between said first end and said second end, said intermediate region having a thickness that is different from a thickness of said end electrically and mechanically connected said PCB.
