Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments of communications connectors. In one example, a communications jack includes a housing, a sled assembly, a printed circuit board, and a plurality of intermediate contacts. The sled assembly sled assembly is movable within the housing when a communications plug is inserted in the housing. The sled assembly includes a sled and a sled PCB connected to the sled. The sled assembly also includes a plurality of plug interface contacts (PICs) connected to the sled PCB. The intermediate contacts are connected to the sled PCB at first ends of the intermediate contacts, and are connected to the other PCB at second ends of the intermediate contacts.
