<p>A shunting system for a modular jack type connector which includes a dielectric housing 10 defining a plug receiving cavity 16 open at one end of the housing. A plurality of terminals 14a, 14b are mounted in the housing, with contact portions 28a, 28b disposed in a single row. A pair of programmable shunts 32a, 32b substantially identically stamped and differently formed from sheet metal material are provided for engagement with the contact portions 28a, 28b when the two shunts are mounted in different positions 42, 44 on the housing. Selected different ones of the contact fingers 36 of each shunt are removed so that the remaining contact fingers engage only selected ones of the contact portions 28a, 28b. <IMAGE></p> |
