An RJ contact module includes a plurality of RJ contacts, a plurality of contact tails separate from the RJ contacts, and a plurality of filtering and isolation components. The ends of the RJ contacts that are opposite the mating ends of the contacts, and the ends of the contact tails that extend into the connector, are either formed into vertically extending wire-wrap terminals to which wire leads of the components may be connected, or solderless contact extensions arranged to engage electrodes on chip-type capacitors or electrodes, with additional solderless connections being provided as necessary between the components, and between the components and a shield or ground plate external to the module. The RJ contact module may be inserted into a multiport connector housing including at least two rows of RJ ports isolated by an intermediate shield plate to which components in the modules are connected. |
