Abstract
A modular jack has an insulative insert having outer walls defining a first recess therein. The insert is mounted within an insulating housing interior section. A cap having outer walls defining a second recess therein is mounted within the insert first recess so that the first and second recesses together form an internal cavity for receiving an electrical device. First and second elongate portions of a conductive contact together securely grasp the insert outer wall and a bridging portion of the contact resides at the insert outer wall edge. The cap also has a rear wall having a rear face that faces in a rear direction, and the contact also has a rear portion adjacent the cap and facing in the rear direction. The cap rear wall rear face extends farther in the rear direction than the contact rear portion. A grounding shield fits over the jack and has a planar rear panel with a rear face that faces in the rear direction. The rear panel covers the cap rear wall rear face and the contact rear portion.
