Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A modular jack for receiving a modular plug having a
plurality of first contact terminals, comprising: an
insulation housing having an opening at a front face; and
a plurality of second contact terminals provided in said
insulation housing, said second contact terminals
comprising: a plurality of contact sections arranged in a
plane in said opening for contact with said first contact
terminals when said modular plug is plugged in said modular
jack; a plurality of fixed sections fixed to said
insulation housing; and a plurality of attaching sections
extending downwardly from said insulation housing, characterized in that said fixed sections are arranged in a plurality of
different planes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
18 words
A modular jack according to claim 1, wherein said
different planes include a plurality of different
horizontal planes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A modular jack according to claim 1, wherein said
contact terminals make a plurality of terminal pairs and are
bent so that said terminal pairs are spaced from each other
at increased distances.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A modular jack according to claim 1, wherein said
contact terminals are eight contact terminals (a, b, c, e)
and (d, f, g, h) arranged in upper and lover planes,
respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A modular jack according to claim 1, wherein said
contact terminals consist of four pairs of contact
terminals a and b, c and f, d and e, and g and h, with a
distance between said pair a and b or g and h and said pair
c and f or d and e being increased.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A modular jack according to claim 5, wherein said
distance between said pairs is increased by bending either
vertical or horizontal sections of said contact terminals.
