Abstract
Abstract A modular jack for telephones in which bypass capacitors (26) have been connected to the leads (14) so as to bypass noise and other high frequency signals. End mounted ceramic capacitors (26) extend from the leads (14) to a ground plane (36) which is provided with flexible fingers (31) and which is connected to a suitable ground (51) so as to provide a grounding contact for the capacitors.
