First Claim
Patent Images
1. An insert for use in a communication jack, comprising:
- a. an insert housing member,b. a plurality of lead frames supported at least in part by said insert housing member, wherein at least one of said plurality of lead frames is a bi-sectional structure, said bi-sectional structure including a front end portion and a rear end portion; and
c. a capacitive element in electrical communication with at least the front end portion of said bi-sectional structure.

Abstract
The present disclosure is related to a modular insert and associated jack assembly used in telecommunication connector systems that reduces the adjacent lines electro magnetic interference from an adjacent transmitter for different plug assemblies. The internal contacts/lead frames feature a bi-sectional design. Internal EMI line reduction is allowed only when the bi-sectional contacts are electrically mated by a plug with corresponding contact layout. By isolating the contact sections in the interface system, the coupled signal for EMI balance is optionally utilized in a low cost and manufacturable design.

32. A method for automatically accommodating plugs having differing contact layouts, comprising:
-
a. providing a jack assembly that defines a plug-receiving space, the jack assembly supporting a plurality of contacts accessible to the jack-receiving space, the plurality of contacts including;
(i) eight contacts in side-by-side relation, and (ii) two additional contact pairs positioned substantially in opposed corners of the jack-receiving space;
wherein four central contacts of the eight side-by-side contacts define bi-sectional members, and wherein the jack assembly further including at least one capacitive element in electrical communication with front end portions of at least two of the bi-sectional members;b. inserting a plug into the plug-receiving space of the jack assembly, wherein the plug is selected from the group consisting of an RJ-45 plug and IEC 60603-7-7 compliant lug; and c. automatically compensating for noise generated through insertion of the plug into the plug-receiving space, regardless of the plug selection. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34)
