Abstract
An improved current mode coupler comprising a base (100) and a housing (300) for current mode coupling onto a twisted pair cable (22) of a data bus (20). The coupler base (100) is mountable to a panel (224), having movable mounting body members (106) and a fixed engaging member (108) and is capable of single-motion mounting to the panel, which has a plurality of predetermined apertures (228) with engagement surfaces (226,227) which correspond to the mounting body members (106) and the fixed engaging member (108). The mounting body members (106) are movable within and removable from the coupler base (100) and contain a spring (218) which exerts a force in the direction away from the fixed engaging member (108) ensuring that the coupler base (100) is securely mounted to the panel (224) by engaging a groove (124) on the mounting feet (106) with an engagement surface (226) on the panel (224).
