Electrical connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a plug-receiving end and a plug-receiving opening extending into the plug-receiving end. A plurality of stamped and formed conductors are mounted on the housing in side-by-side spaced-apart relationship. Each conductor has a contact spring portion which extends diagonally from the plug-receiving end into the opening from one of the sidewalls of the opening. Each conductor has an intermediate portion which is reversely bent at the plug-receiving end and extends through a channel in an external sidewall towards the rearward end of the housing. The end portion of the conductor extends beyond the housing to permit mounting of the housing on a circuit board with the end portion of the conductor soldered to a conductor on the board. An improved manufacturing method is disclosed in which a plurality of the conductors are simultaneously sheared from a continuous strip, inserted into the side-by-side channels in the external sidewall, and each conductor is formed during assembly to provide the contact springs which extend into the plug-receiving opening.

There is disclosed, a kit of parts for assembly to provide a wire-to-wire shielded electrical connector (2) comprising an insulating housing (4) having a forward portion (12) defining a socket (50) for receiving a shielded electrical plug (170), and a rear portion (10) defining a row of passageways (18) for receiving respective wires (W) of a shielded electrical cable (C). Electrical terminals (6) have insulation displacement portions (84) which, in the assembled connector (2), are received in first slots (16) in the rear housing portion (10), and retention portions (86) which are received in second slots (66) in the forward housing portion (12), with contact springs (90) projecting from the retention portions (86) into the socket (50) for engagement by contacts (174) of the plug (170). The insulation displacement portions (84) of the terminals (6) can be driven home into the first slots (16) to engage the metal cores of the wires (W) when the wires (W) are received in the passageways (18). The terminals comprise flexible joggles (88) in order to ensure that the retention portions (86) are not disturbed as the insulation displacement portions (84) are driven home into the first slots (16).

Circuit board housing comprises spaced-apart panels with the circuit board being between the panels. A modular jack is mounted on one surface of the circuit board and the panels have laterally extending flanges which form a wall of the circuit board housing. One of the flanges is provided with an opening which is in alignment with the opening in the modular jack. The modular jack has a clearance notch extending into one of its sidewalls and the circuit board has a similar notch in registry with the clearance notch, these notches providing clearance for an inserted modular plug. The latching shoulder for the modular jack is provided on one of the flanges rather than in the jack housing. These features, the latching shoulder on the flange and the clearance notches, permit a reduction in the thickness of the circuit board housing as measured between the panels.

Electrical connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a plug-receiving end, a rearward end, and a plug-receiving opening extending into the plug-receiving end. A plurality of electrical conductors are provided in and on the housing, each conductor having contact spring portions at one end, an intermediate portion, and a second end portion. The contact spring portion extends from an internal sidewall at the mating end diagonally into the plug-receiving opening. The intermediate portion of each conductor extends from the mating end across an external sidewall, across the rearward end and beyond the other external sidewall. The connector is intended for mounting on a circuit board having holes which receive the other ends of the conductors so that the sidewalls from which the contact springs extend is remote from the circuit board.

A modular plug-dual modular jack adaptor is disclosed. The adaptor is comprised of a two piece molded housing having a plurality of one piece uninsulated conductor members therein, which can engage directly with the contacts in other modular jacks and plugs. The conductor members are made from stamped and formed sheet metal or wire. The adaptor is intended to provide multiple jack access at a single jack location.

Supporting and contacting means for supporting a disk-like piezoelectric tone transducer on a circuit board comprises a pair of sheet metal supporting members which are mounted on the circuit board in spaced-apart planes which extend normally of the plane of the circuit board. The supporting members are connected by solder tabs to conductors on the circuit board and have opposed re-entrant notches on their upper edges. The transducer is mounted in the supporting members by positioning its circular edge in two corresponding notches, flexing the supporting members and then locating the edge in the remaining notches of the supporting members so that the transducer is engaged at four locations on its periphery. Electrical contact is maintained with the ceramic material of the transducer by means of a spring contact arm mounted on the circuit board between the supporting members.

A method of manufacturing a connector receptacle of the telephone jack type is disclosed. The jack housing is produced as a one-piece molding having conductor-receiving channels extending across one of its external sidewalls from the plug-receiving end to the rearward end. The conductors are manufactured by stamping a flat strip to produce groups of spaced-apart conductors extending laterally of the length of the strip. To assemble the conductors to the housing, a group of conductors is positioned in alignment with the channels and the conductors are inserted into the channels. First end portions of the conductors are reversely bent so that they extend diagonally into the plug-receiving opening of the housing and second end portions may be bent laterally and offset from each other so that the second ends can be inserted into staggered holes on a circuit board.

A jack-type electrical connector receptacle is disclosed which is intended for mounting on a circuit board with the rearward end of the connector against the surface of the circuit board. The side-by-side conductors are stamped and formed members which extend through spaced-apart openings in the connector housing and diagonally into the plug-receiving opening of the housing. Intermediate portions of the conductors extend across an external sidewall of the housing, past the rearward end of the housing. The conductors are offset and spread apart at their rearward ends which are intended to be inserted into holes in the circuit board.

Sub-assembly for a modular jack comprises an insulating support, which is dimensioned to be assembled to a jack housing having a group of stamped and formed conductors mounted on the support. The conductors have plate-like wire-receiving portions which are provided with wire-receiving slots so that wires can be connected to the conductors by movement of the wires into the slots. The sub-assemblies are produced as a continuous composite strip comprising a continuous strip of conductors with support members assembled to the groups of conductors of the metallic strip.
