Claims
- 1. An RJ jack comprising:a housing having bottom, side, rear, front and top walls and an interior chamber for receiving a plug through an opening in the front wall; a plurality of contact fingers in the interior chamber for making contact with corresponding contacts in the plug; at least two guides for receiving light emitting devices formed on the rear of the rear wall of the housing; and the top wall having a stopper for limiting movement of the plug within the chamber and a locking mechanism for releasably securing the plug within the chamber, the top wall being transparent and being structured and arranged for transmitting light from the light emitting devices.
- 2. An RJ jack comprising:a first housing having bottom, side, rear and front walls defining an interior chamber and an opening through the front wall through which a plug may be received into the interior chamber; a plurality of contact fingers extending from beneath the bottom wall to and over the front wall and into the interior of the chamber, the spacing between the contact fingers in the interior chamber being equal to the spacing of corresponding contacts in the plug with the spacing of the contact fingers extending beneath the bottom wall being substantially greater; a second housing having a front wall secured to the rear wall of the first housing, the second housing containing a plurality of magnetic elements; at least two guides for receiving light emitting devices formed on a rear wall of the second housing; and a top wall extending over the first and second housings, having a stopper for limiting movement of the plug within the chamber and a locking mechanism for releasably securing the plug within the chamber, the top wall being transparent for transmitting light from the light emitting devices.
- 3. An RJ jack according to claim 2, wherein the side walls of the first housing extend rearwardly and have respective dove-tailed portions for mating with complementary dove-tailed portions formed on the front wall of the second housing to thereby secure the second housing to the first housing.
- 4. An RJ jack according to claim 3, further including a shorting bar having depending tabs insertable through openings in a first wall of the second housing into contact with certain ones of the contact fingers to electrically interconnect such contact fingers.
- 5. An RJ jack according to claim 4, further including a base plate to which the first and second housings are mounted, the base plate having depending elements for mounting the RJ jack to another component.
- 6. A shielded RJ jack comprising the RJ jack of claim 5 and a shield for enclosing said RJ jack.
- 7. An RJ jack comprising:a first housing having bottom, side, rear and front walls defining an interior chamber and an opening through the front wall through which a plug may be received into the interior chamber; a plurality of contact fingers extending from beneath the bottom wall to and over the opening of the front wall and into the interior chamber, the spacing between the contact fingers in the interior chamber being equal to the spacing of corresponding contacts in the plug with the spacing of the contact fingers extending beneath the bottom wall being substantially greater; a second housing having a front wall removably secured to the rear wall of the first housing, the second housing containing a plurality of magnetic elements; and a shorting bar having depending tabs insertable through openings in the front wall of the second housing into contact with certain ones of the contact fingers to electrically interconnect such contact fingers.
- 8. An RJ jack according to claim 7, wherein the first housing has a top wall which is structured and arranged relative to the contact fingers such that the contact fingers are prevented from being pulled from retaining slots for the contact fingers when the plug is withdrawn therefrom.
- 9. An RJ jack comprising:a first housing having bottom, side, rear and front walls defining an interior chamber and an opening through the front wall through which a plug may be received into the interior chamber; a plurality of contact fingers extending from beneath the bottom wall to and over the opening of the front wall and into the interior chamber, the spacing between the contact fingers in the interior chamber being equal to the spacing of corresponding contacts in the plug with the spacing of the contact fingers extending beneath the bottom wall being substantially greater; a second housing having a front wall removably secured to the rear wall of the first housing, the second housing containing a plurality of magnetic elements, the side walls of the first housing extending rearwardly and have respective dove-tailed portions for mating with complementary dove-tailed portions formed on the front wall of the second housing to thereby secure the second housing to the first housing; and a shorting bar having depending tabs insertable through openings in the front wall of the second housing into contact with certain ones of the contact fingers to electrically interconnect such contact fingers.
- 10. An RJ jack according to claim 9, further including a base plate to which the first and second housings are mounted, the base plate having depending elements for mounting the RJ jack to another component.
- 11. A shielded RJ jack comprising the RJ jack of claim 10 and a shield for enclosing said RJ jack.
