Telecommunications connector

摘要

The invention refers to a telecommunications jack (1) for making electrical connection to a mating plug (5), wherein the jack and the plug may - when connected with each other - exchange electrical signals, the electrical signals travel along a signal path through the jack and the plug. The telecommunications jack according to the invention comprises:
- a first supporting printed circuit board (16) holding
- an array of front contacts (12), connectable to telecommunication wires,
- the front contacts comprising a section that is lying within the signal path and a section that is lying outside the signal path,
- a second compensating printed circuit board (17) comprising electrical compensation components for reducing crosstalk,
- at least one of the electrical compensation components of the second printed circuit board is electrically connected to at least one of the front contacts in the section that is lying within the signal path and
- at least another one of the electrical compensation components of the second printed circuit board is electrically connected to at least one of the front contacts in the section that is lying outside of the signal path.
