<p>A modular jack assembly includes a dielectric housing means having a mating face. At least one conductive terminal has a body portion mounted in the housing and a contact arm cantilevered from the mating face. The contact arm has a contact portion near a distal end thereof for engaging a contact of a modular jack plug to flex the arm in a direction generally parallel to the mating face. The contact arm has an engaging portion located between the contact portion and the body portion. The housing has a first wall for engaging the engaging portion of the terminal and a second wall for engaging the contact portion of the terminal to prevent overflexing of the contact arm.</p> |
