Modular jack connector having improved performance

摘要

A modular jack connector ( 100 ) includes a housing ( 1 ) defining an inner space ( 10 ). A partition ( 11 ) is formed within the space. The partition forms with a plurality of fingers ( 12 ) and defines a plurality of slots ( 13 ) between two adjacent fingers. A plurality of contacts ( 321, 331 ) assembled to the housing. Each contact includes a contact engaging portion ( 3212, 3312 ) extending through the slots. At least one of the fingers and the contact engaging portions includes a reduced-dimension-portion such that clearance between the contact engaging portion and the slot is increased.
