Abstract
A modular jack connector assembly ( ) comprises an insulative housing ( ), and a conductive outer shield ( ). A first receiving space ( ) is defined in the housing, for receiving a complementary modular plug. A plurality of first contacts ( ) is disposed in the housing. Each first contact comprises a contact portion ( ), a bent portion ( ), and a tail portion ( ). An opening ( ) is defined in the shield. The bent portions of the first spring contacts are exposed in the opening, such that a substantial gap exists between the bent portions and the shield. As a result, if high voltage is applied tithe shield, current cannot jump from the shield to the bent portions. Thus damage to other associated components of the system is avoided.
