Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having a plug receiving cavity with an open end for receiving a plug and with an inner end spaced from the open end, and having a forward chamber outside of the cavity and adjacent the open end. A mounting circuit board is in the housing adjacent the inner end. A plurality of pairs of electrical jack contacts have mounting ends engaging the mounting circuit board, plug contacting portions extending through the cavity from the mounting end toward the open end, and free ends extending from the contacting portion into the forward chamber. A compensation circuit board is mounted in the forward chamber of the housing outside of the plug receiving cavity, and has a compensation circuit with conductive pads. The free ends of the jack contacts engage the conductive pads. A spring in the forward chamber biases the compensation circuit board towards the free ends of the jack contacts.
