Abstract
A modular jack connector (100) includes a contact module (2) having a paddle board (22) formed with two conductive sections (28b). The contact module includes two transformers (24) each including a magnetic core (271) embedded in the paddle board, and a number of PCB layout traces distributed in the paddle board and including a first group of PCB layout traces having one group of tips extending to a position adjacent to corresponding magnetic core to form a magnetic field and another group of tips connected to the conductive section, and a second group of PCB layout traces having one group of tips extending to a position adjacent to corresponding magnetic core to form a magnetic field and another group of tips connected to the vias. The common mode chokes are surface mounted on the conductive section.
