Abstract
A modular electrical jack unit 40 is described having a cast frame structure 42 for supporting and aligning a plurality of jack spring switch assemblies 70, 72 and 74. The cast frame structure 42 has a sleeve section 44 and a beam section 46. The sleeve section 44 has a plurality of sleeve members 52, 54 and 56. The beam member 46 has support beams 60 and 64 that extend rearward substantially perpendicular to the sleeve section 44 at spaced intervals with the support beam 60 extending rearward between sleeve member 52 and 54 and the support beam 64 extending rearward between sleeve member 54 and 56. The jack spring switch assemblies 70, 72 and 74 are mounted on the support beams 60 and 64 with the jack spring switch assembly 72 positioned intermediate the support beams 60 and 64. The jack spring switch assemblies 70, 72 and 74 are stacked vertically aligned with each other and are aligned with sleeve members 52, 54 and 56 respectively. The support beams 60 and 64 prevent the switch assemblies from twisting and more effectively secures the switch assemblies and reduces moment forces that would otherwise deteriorate the effectiveness of the unit with extended use.
