Receptacle with integral sensor device

摘要

A receptacle adapted to be mounted on a printed wiring board (PWB) comprising an insulative member supporting a plurality of conductive contacts which conductive contacts engage said PWB and a conductive sheet having a lower wall superimposed on said PWB and an upper wall superimposed over the insulative member in spaced relation over the lower wall and a pair of side walls perpendicularly interposed between said upper and lower walls to form a plug receiving space between said upper and lower wall and a conductive sensor means which is positioned adjacent one of said conductive contacts and which contacts one of the conductive contacts when a plug is inserted in the plug receiving space.
