The invention discloses a modular jack type connector having a dielectric connector housing,and a plurality of contacts,to,and,to,&prime;arranged in the connector housing for contactingly engaging contacts of a mateable connector when said mateable connector is inserted in a receptacle,defined by said connector housing. The modular jack type connector further comprises a subassembly T,T,and a dc separation of the contacts,to,and,to,from external terminals and comprises a filtering device CC,CC,An element,which is substantially completely insertable into said connector housing,holds contacts,to,and,to,associated with the contacts of said mateable connector and said external terminals, and the insertable element,accommodates both said subassembly for a dc separation T,T,and said filtering device CC,CC

Modular connector with DC decoupling and filtering

An add-on electrical assembly is provided for association with an electrical connector for receiving a complementary mating plug to a circuit board. The electrical connector may be a standard modular jack including a connector housing having a front face with a receptacle receiving the plug, a top wall, a rear wall and a bottom face adapted for mounting on the circuit board. A plurality of terminals each include one end extending into the receptacle for making electrical contact with a corresponding terminal on the plug and the other end adapted to contact the circuit board. A separate LED assembly is provided with housing for mounting over the top and rear walls of the connector housing. A light emitting device is mounted on the LED housing and is viewable through a front face thereof adjacent the receptacle. Conductors extend from the light emitting device through the LED housing for connection to the circuit board. At least one snap latch is provided between the LED housing and the connector housing.

Add-on electrical assembly with light transmission means

A rotary connector assembly has a rotor with a receptacle for an associated electrical connector, stator contacts, first contacts arranged in the receptacle that make an electrical connection to contacts of the associated electrical connector, a housing in which the rotor is rotatably arranged, and rotor contacts arranged on the rotor and electrically connected to the first contacts that make an electrical connection to the stator contacts. The rotor contacts include wound wire on which the stator contacts abut laterary. The rotor contacts are arranged mutually spaced apart radially on a section of the outer circumference of the rotor. Leads to the rotor contacts have a portion arranged running in an axial direction in radial recesses of the rotor.
