Modular electrical connector with enhanced jack interface

摘要

An electrical connector comprising a housing having a cavity configured to receive a mating connector, and a contact sub-assembly (20) disposed within the cavity. The contact sub-assembly (20) includes a plurality of contacts (22) arranged on a contact support member (72, 74). The contact support member (72, 74) includes a pair of opposed support walls (102, 104) separated by a gap (110) and extending to a mating end (114). A first set (92) of the contacts (22) are provided on one of the support walls (102) and a second set (94) of the contacts (22) are provided on the other of the support walls (104). The first and second sets (92, 94) of contacts (22) are opposed to each other on respective opposite sides of the gap (110), and the opposed support walls (102, 104) are surrounded by the cavity at the mating end (114).
