Abstract
A modular connector is provided that includes a plurality of modular components that are connectable together. Such components or modules include a conductive bracket that may be grounded, a cover attachable to the bracket, a conductive insert that is extendable through the bracket and into the cover, an insulator that is extendable into the insert, and a contact that is insertable into the insulator to insulate the contact from the insert. The insert engages the bracket and is therefore grounded when the bracket is grounded.
