Abstract
The invention provides a modular structure for electrical connections with an integral molded frame wherein a forward portion of the frame has holes to receive electrical conductors and a rearward portion carries one or more electrical contact assemblies, said frame being adapted to fit into the rear of a panel, with or without elimination of screws previously used for panel mounting, and with the elimination of separate sleeves that have to be brazed on the jack frame, thereby reducing manual operations and simplifying manufacture while providing versatile modular components especially useful in telephone switchboards and apparatus, multiplex and microwave systems, television and broadcast equipment and other control panel applications where small size and reliability are prime engineering and operating parameters. Other features are the provision of a new extruded panel, and the provision of a special type of jack sleeve made from a wrapped up stamping.
