A modular jack connector comprises an insulative housing ( ) and an insert module ( ) received in the insulative housing. The insert module includes an insert ( ) having contacts ( ) retained therein, a cross talk compensating printed circuit board ( ), and a footer ( ) having terminals ( ) retained therein. Both the contacts and terminals have press-fit eyelet portions ( ) for facilitating assembly to the printed circuit board. The contacts of the insert are configured as four differential pairs having a pairing of - - - , wherein the and pairs are used for signal transmission, and the and pairs are used for signal reception. The contacts have intermediate portions ( ) arranged on upper and lower levels.

An RJ-45 modular jack connector includes a housing defining a cavity for receiving an RJ-45 plug connector therein, a terminal insert assembled to the housing, an anti-mismating device assembled in the housing and a shield covering the housing. The anti-mismating device comprises a block part and a spring part secured to the block part. The block part with the spring part is assembled in the housing with the block part partly projecting into the cavity of the housing. When the RJ-45 plug connector is inserted into the modular jack receptacle connector, the RJ-45 plug connector pushes the block part to the side, compressing the spring part and moving the block part out of the way of the RJ-45 plug connector. Thus the RJ-45 plug connector is fully inserted into the cavity of the housing. When an RJ-11 plug connector is mistakenly inserted into the modular jack connector, the smaller RJ-11 plug connector will not move the block part aside and be blocked by the block part from full insertion into the cavity.

A socket for securing an integrated circuit (IC) during burn-in or test procedures. The socket includes a base which carries a plurality of electrically conductive contacts. Opposed hold down rollers are shiftably journaled in the base. The socket also includes a movable top connected to the base and a contact with the rollers. Movement of the top shifts the rollers between secured and open positions. A rotatable lever housed in the base is connected to an actuating arm which is also shiftable by movement of the top. The lever is operably associated with the contacts and shifts the contacts between an operative position in contact with the IC chip leads and a standby position spaced from the IC chip leads.
