RJ modular connector having substrate having conductive trace to balance electrical couplings between terminals

摘要

An RJ modular connector (1) includes a housing (10) defining a terminal insert receiving space (12). A terminal insert (20) is received in the terminal insert receiving space (12) and includes a substrate (3) having a plurality of conductive traces (30a-30d) and a plurality of terminals (21-28). One trace (30a) of the plurality of traces is aligned with only a selected terminal (21) attached on the second face (32) of the substrate while extends over a parallel terminal (22) and is electrically connected to another selected terminal (23) thereby establishing electrical coupling between said two selected terminals by said trace.
