1. Modular telecommunication jack-type connector comprising a dielectric housing means (5) including a plug-receiving area (6), a plurality of terminals (T1-T8) mounted on the housing means and a crosstalk compensation arrangement (P1, P3, P5, P4, P6, P8),the terminals of said plurality being mounted in parallel into said housing means and each terminal including a spring beam contact portion (S4, S6) extending in cantilever fashion within the plug-receiving area, said contact portion having a first end extending to a curved base portion (C4, C6) located in the housing means and being coupled to external connections (E4, E6) of the modular connector, said crosstalk compensation arrangement comprising metallic plates (P4, P6) connected to said terminals (T4, T6), wherein at least one other pair of terminals is associated to plates overlapping each other in parallel planes in order to define a physical capacitor between the associated other pair of terminals, wherein the metallic plates (P4, P6) of said cross talk compensation arrangement are connected to a second end (X4, X6), opposite to said first end (C4, C6), of the spring beam contact portion (S4, S6) of said terminals (T4, T6), and wherein the curved base portion of said terminals is directly connected to said external connections (E4, E6) of said modular connector.
