Abstract

The present invention provides a unitary, compact telecommunication interface adapter system. The adapter system comprises a plurality of electrical contacts, a modular connector, a housing structure connected to the modular connector and an electrical interface between the modular connector and the electrical contacts. The housing structure has at least one plug end enclosing the contacts which is connectable to a 66 block telecommunications interface. The modular connector and the electrical interface are disposed within the housing structure so that the modular connector is exposed for mating via an aperture in the housing structure. The electrical interface comprises a printed circuit board having the electrical contacts extended horizontally beyond the perimeter of the printed circuit board through channels in the plug end to expose the electrical contacts for efficient and reliable mating within the channels.
