Printed circuit board mounted jack

Claim 1

A coaxial jack for mounting on a printed circuit board, said jack comprising: an electrically conductive housing having an interior; a port disposed on said housing and in communication with said interior, said port sized to receive a coaxial jack plug; a center conductor having a pin receiving end and a lead end; a dielectric support sized received within said interior and hold said center conductor in spaced relation to said housing with said pin receiving end disposed to receive a center pin of a jack plug inserted within said port, said center conductor further having a lead end within said dielectric support sized to pass said lead end out of said housing; a retaining clip sized to be secured within said housing in a predetermined position; said retaining clip, said dielectric support and said housing having a plurality of mutually opposing surfaces for said support to be secured in a predetermined position within said housing when said clip is secured to said housing; a plurality of terminating pins secured to said dielectric support with said terminating pins extending through said housing; circuit means contained within said interior including a circuit path connected to said pins for receiving a coaxial signal and converting said coaxial signal to a twisted pair signal.
